<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2233407, member: 26302&quot;]I understand sir. You and many collectors like you concentrate on supply, and assume demand. I am just saying &quot;demand&quot; is not fixed in stone like many suppose. &quot;Demand&quot; for &quot;key&quot; dates only is real if there are a lot more people actively trying to assemble the &quot;set&quot;. Maybe there are more than I realize, with registry sets, etc, trying to assemble these sets. I simply do not see them much anymore. Most collectors I see are collecting modern coins or a specialty, not something as common as buffalo nickel sets, or mercury dimes. That is why I worry &quot;keys&quot; for sets like this will eventually lose their base support. I view most &quot;keys&quot; like this today as massively overvalued versus real rarity. They only reason they haven&#039;t crashed is collectively we convinced ourselves of their value. Tons of collectors I have met only concentrate on collecting &quot;keys&quot;, thinking somehow these are superior coins. What happens when some of these &quot;keys&quot; hit the market and no one wants to buy them for their sets? Will others continue to pay that money because of this group delusion that they are somehow superior?</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, look at harder sets to assemble. They have MUCH rarer &quot;keys&quot; and much lower price versus common examples. The base value of a &quot;key&quot; is how many people want to assemble a set. With few set collectors active, &quot;keys&quot; have little premium. Have almost no people pursuing a mercury dime collection, and a 1916d in VG might be worth $80. That would be in line with its rarity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
