<p>[QUOTE=&quot;crystalk64, post: 52663, member: 1873&quot;]Again I must respond Speedy! First your collecting age, experience and wisdom comes in to play here. You really need to consider all of the above before offering advise to new collectors, old collectors or just the curious that will stop by here with a question! While I respect your opinion you really need to open up your eyes and ears to ALL the collecting possibilities around you. As I have said before there are WAY to many naysayers in many of the forums that are serving up a defeatist attitude which is in no way good for the hobby! </p><p>You keep referring to millions or billions each time the buffalo nickel is brought up? Young man how many Morgan dollars were struck? What is the worth of all those millions and millions today? I bought one just last Saturday for $145! Was that a good buy? Can you tell me how much on average the Morgans have risen in the last 5 years? Ten years? Twenty years?</p><p>How about the buffalo nickels? The classics, 1913 - 1938, have they risen in value? You must keep in mind, that most of us are LONG term collectors and it is not about the purchase price or about the price next year. Basically it is about the joy of collecting and filling a set. We all DREAM of our coins increasing in value and I for one have NEVER seen a one time, six month issue of anything that DID NOT increase in value. These buffalo nickels are being HOARDED beyond belief by everyone, not just collectors, and most folks WILL NOT give them up for years to come. What will it take to get them, in rolls or unc., back on the market? Now I just answered your question as to why the Peace Medal P nickels are now $16.00 a roll. It is not ever really how many of anything was minted or made, it is how many are in demand and available at any given time! Get used to it as that is the way it is and will continue to be. Supply and demand determines prices, not mintages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
