<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 461659, member: 112&quot;]Excellent question ! To be completely honest it could go either way. It might end up like the &#039;95-W ASE - and it might end up as just another bullion coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>The thing you have to consider is what will the mint do next ? Most collectors don&#039;t realize it but the mint absolutely hates, I mean hates, to create a rarity. They will go out of their way to avoid it.</p><p><br /></p><p>But with the conditions what they are right now, they have stopped making these coins so that they can keep up with the demand of the bullion investors. And the easiest way to do that is to produce only the large coins. It&#039;s not collectors buying these things up left and right - it&#039;s ordinary people who are scared and they want their money in precious metals. And the bullion coins provide an easy way for them to do that.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what I think will likely happen is that collectors will go nuts for a while buying up all these coins they are <u>assuming</u> will not be made anymore. But assumptions are dangerous for they often turn out not to be true. </p><p><br /></p><p>What could very easily happen, and what I expect to happen, is that once this financial ho-ha is over with, and it will be over with in time, is that mint will resume making the smaller denominations and mint marked coins. Once they do that - prices for all those <u>assumed</u> great rarities will drop like hot rocks.</p><p><br /></p><p>And far too many people also believe that there is a large collector base for these coins. There isn&#039;t though. There is a very small collector base for these coins. That is why for over 20 years now the prices of these coins generally follow the bullion market. I doubt that will ever change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
