[QUOTE="andyscouse, post: 986140, member: 27100"]A lot is supply and demand. I have a very rare UK coin - a 1934 "Wreath" Crown (5/-), of which just 932 were minted. Now, it's worth probably over $3,500 ... but US coins with [much] larger mintages in a similar grade (gEF, probably EF58-MS60 in the US grading scale) would go for 10x or more that price! So you can't just go on mintage (it's an indicator, but often nothing more). The Crown is very attractive, though - and I have no intention of selling it any time soon - rather, I want to get the full set (1927 - 36, except for 1935) - I have 4 already, just 5 more to go.[/QUOTE]
