[QUOTE="World Colonial, post: 2470503, member: 78153"]I'm not because everything cannot be more popular simultaneously, in the sense that it is worth more or a lot more since someone always has to own it until it gets melted or lost.

The US Mint puts out one or more of these every year and has since at least 1986. Decades from now, I expect most of them to be mostly forgotten, lost in obscurity right where they belong. They will be lost in obscurity because the ever increasing size and cost of the series will make it unaffordable to the majority of the target collector base while other collectors will mostly prefer to buy something else better, just as they do now.
