<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2413789, member: 69760&quot;]I don&#039;t get why the 1944 P Netherlands Gulden coin demands the dollar figure it does. It&#039;s got an acorn privy with a &quot;P&quot; to signify that it was minted in the US during WWII in Philadelphia. However, the mintage figure I see is over 100 million. I also see a note for the 1945 Gulden that &quot;only a small number [was] placed into circulation&quot;. But, that note is not specific to the 1944 year. The 1944 year doesn&#039;t appear to be that rare given the number of offerings on the &#039;Bay. Please note, not the Curacao one, but specifically the one made for the Netherlands.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, for the 1945 year, does that mean that the 25 million plus coins were minted but not officially introduced in its entirety? Were they minted merely to signify the Netherlands&#039; continuity of state - that it&#039;s still going strong as a sovereign entity despite the German&#039;s stronghold in the motherland? Did they melt the majority of the coins, thereby making the 1945 year rare? Does the melting also apply to 1944?</p><p><br /></p><p>And, why the acorn? Why not a different design? Is it a staple ingredient/food of the Netherlands? I think that I read somewhere that the acorn was historic in nature due to its appearance on a Dutch coat of arms. But nothing is conclusive from what I can tell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I get the whole supply and demand of the market... what I&#039;m getting at is the granular analysis of the 1944 Netherland Gulden&#039;s <i>supply</i> to cause such a price hike.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]499258[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]499259[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
