<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 670358, member: 15309&quot;]Doug,</p><p><br /></p><p>Where are you looking?&nbsp; If you look at Heritage Auction archives, the prices that Paddy listed are correct.&nbsp; However, I don&#039;t believe that these coins have a positive growth potential.&nbsp; Using overall mintage figures to determine future value is very dangerous IMO.&nbsp; While the mintage of this coin is only 25,000, the coin is only collectible in the SMS 69 and 70 grades.&nbsp; Every time a coin is submitted to NGC or PCGS, the population in these grades increases making it less rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a better example of what I am talking about, look at this auction link from Heritage.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=29083&amp;Lot_No=25134#photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=29083&amp;Lot_No=25134#photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=29083&amp;Lot_No=25134#photo</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Take a look at the Previous Prices from Heritage Auctions.&nbsp; They have steadily declined since 2007.&nbsp; If you look at the population of this coin, it is anything but rare with a total population of (965/166).&nbsp; Consider the fact that there are thousands of sets out there that have not been submitted to the TPG&#039;s with the potential to grade 69 or 70.&nbsp; If you buy one of these now at the current price, what will the coin be worth 10 years from now when the populations are double what they are presently.&nbsp; The only thing that can cause an increase in price of these coins is a dramatic increase in demand.&nbsp; I don&#039;t rule this possibility out because most of the newer collectors who buy modern mint products eventually find out about the registry system.&nbsp; The registries have a significant impact on the demand of these items and indirectly influence the prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;BTW Paddy, do you have any that are toned?&nbsp; I am interested in this issue if it has toning and is registry quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
