<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 799087, member: 307&quot;]Nobody knows for sure. My guess is that because you missed it last year, that the ship has already sailed and if you could re-coup your money now, I&#039;d do it and move on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Typically when something is extremely popular and sells out quickly what happens next (in my experience) is that people all look to the next issue within that series to do the exact same thing and it rarely does. Look at the popularity of the Lincoln Cent LP1 rolls from the Mint. It looks like everyone and their brother bought LP2s and so the Mint decided to make more which in turn sent the value into the toilet. </p><p><br /></p><p>And higher mintages aren&#039;t the only problem. In some cases distribution of the supply is what causes the value to jump. The issues that rise in price are ones that are generally hard to find, thus the higher offer prices. Some times as a distributor sees these problems develop they change they flow of goods for the next issue. When the US Mint placed an order limit of 2 1999 Silver proof sets per address, they eliminated bulk stocks and caused them to be harder to find. This in turn drove the price through the roof and it to this day remains the highest valued issue. I would be careful though, because in recent years the price of these has steadily come down and the future value as with anything is uncertain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another point to keep in mind is that many times the people that cause the price inflation to begin with are the speculators. The problem is, when the speculators all dump their stuff onto the market, the price plummets. Many times this happens after unsuspecting buyers have grabbed a few as &quot;a store of value&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
