<p>[QUOTE="Argenteus Fossil, post: 1982792, member: 71478"]It's not just about supply, Kurt. There has to be demand in surplus to that supply for the price to rise. Just because there are less doesn't mean the price rises. You could continue to melt them until the supply-surplus falls to match demand with no rise in price whatsoever. In fact, if you want to get really technical, price may actually FALL every time you melt one by a "eensy teensy" bit. If they are trading at melt, demand for that coin is less than supply. By melting it you are increasing gold supply which lowers gold price (assuming constant demand). The coins demand is still less and is still trading at melt, but melt-value is now "less". Measurable amounts? No, of course not, but technically if you want to talk economically <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
