[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 110436, member: 705"]The reson some people want them is because they need them for their set...some want them because they were born that year or so...and others want them because they just do. The price guide is put together from what coins are selling for...not what coins should sell for. the only problem with PCGS price guide is that they hype it up and make coins look $$ when you can get them cheaper anywhere else...even the Past President of PCGS that sells coins...he has never gone by their price guide. Coin books and websites and such can't tell you what a coin is worth...because the values are changing everyday in some cases...they can post what coins have been selling for and seem to be the normal price. The question of what makes a coin valuable is asked alot...no one can say for sure... some say its demand...some say mintage...some say grade...some say date or mintmark....all that I've listed are true...but on some coins no one knows...and on the ASE I just don't know. There are hundereds of millions of them some its more than likely not because its a really rare mitnage because if that is the case there are alot of coins with a mintage of under 1000 that needs to be worth lots more. Grade it can't be...they are all PF...and mintmark it can't be...so the only way we can say makes this coin worth so much more is demand---BUT if someday that demand goes down...or people start to sell these fast...the value can crash and make them worth the same as the others.
