<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 179534, member: 2100&quot;]Rarity is determined by the ratio of supply vs. demand. Many of my token books have rarity ratings, and at least one of them lists as few as 6 or more known to be rated as &quot;common&quot;. Typically, for the value of any collectible to increase significantly, there needs to be a corresponding increase in demand (or intrinsic value). Low demand equates to low value. As an example, some Civil War merchants were prolific with the number of varieties they issued, so demand for any one specific variety may be very low as well. There are some R9 rarity (2-4 known) cwts that list in Unc for only $50. Considering that these tokens circulated to a greater extent than regular coinage tor a time, imagine what a 140+ year old uncirculated U.S. coin with a pop. in the 2-4 range would be worth. That&#039;s the kind of difference demand can make.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
