<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pocket Change, post: 344552, member: 8012&quot;]Interesting thread.&nbsp; I think one of the problems here is:&nbsp; What is collectible or what does that mean?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you look in almost any dictionary, there is talk of &quot;investment&quot;, &quot;increasing in value&quot;, etc.&nbsp; Well, I&#039;m guessing you can do that two ways - make something so desirable because of beauty, history or whatever that people WANT to collect it and/or limit the quantity and thus make it &quot;collectible&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an example.&nbsp; Most modern US proof coins (roosevelts, Sacs, Kennedys, etc.) are limited to a run of about 2,000,000.&nbsp; Now look at the Walking Liberty Half Dollar.&nbsp; Way over half of them have mintages much, much larger than 2,000,000 and of course, there is a question as to how many have survived.&nbsp; But anyway, if you ask almost anyone, they will say the Walker is more &quot;collectible&quot; than say, a set of Roosevelt proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, I could be wrong <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; It&#039;s been known to happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
