<p>[QUOTE="mikem2000, post: 1728974, member: 30574"]Nope, that argument simply does not hold water. There are many examples, lets just look at one. Let's take a 1900 Buisness strike Indian head cent. That was issued for 1c as metal backed currency, it was not fiat. It was by no means issued as a collectible. Today, a fresh MS 64 would sell for $250. You simply cannot argue that since it was not issued as a collectible that means you must be getting the $250 from the copper value of the penny. What actually happend is the copper is only worth 3 cents but over the course of time the item morphed into a collectible and that is where the remaining value comes from.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>C'mon Peace, give a man his props, that was just game, set, and match <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I would do it for you.....</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
