What the original statement is inferring is supply will always be greater than demand. If that is not the case, if magically today we had 100 times the amount of beanie baby collectors then their prices would not have collapsed. I am not sure if 100,000 of these sets will be a low enough mintage to ensure these coins will ALWAYS carry a premium, but I think its a low enough number for that to be true for the foreseeable future. I simply do not see at least the two coins with only 100,000 mintages going to bullion value any time soon. Yes, to me 100,000 is a LOT fo coins, since many I collect there may be 500 in existence, but demand is also high on these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
