<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 2037819, member: 23368&quot;]In 1909 you didn&#039;t have all these novelty sets, mint sets, different finishes, novelty silver bullion, annual medal releases and BEP offerings for the collector to go after. Plus only four commemoratives were released and available by 1909. So collectors have it harder to afford every new item that comes along. They must now pick and choose what they want to buy and may not go back after items they didn&#039;t purchase initially. The same deluge of new items appears every year (Not to mention the registry and TPG coin collectors), and the purchasing power doesn&#039;t increase ex-potentially. So smaller mintage&#039;s today don&#039;t have the guarantee of producing future demands on these products later. Then there is the theory of: Is the hobby slowly going away because of the lack of new young collectors? Who will buy these sets if they don&#039;t?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
