<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beardigger, post: 3579440, member: 104605&quot;]OK so.....as a newbie, I&#039;m going to as a hypothetical question to see if I got this straight.....I hope nobody finds it insulting, it is not meant that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>They are fabricated Collectables even though they are real coins from a real mint, in a very small number. There will be no &quot;proofs&quot; and no&nbsp; uncirculated available, but because they are made only to entice people into coin collecting, they will likely be shunned by experienced collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now suppose , they were made in a &quot;real run&quot; for widespread distribution, and lets say ,the mint burned down and they only had a run of 2 million from that mint, would collectors would be tripping over each other to add it to their collection?</p><p>So the only difference in the 2, is WHY or the circumstances of how they were made, makes a big difference in collector appeal?</p><p><br /></p><p>Another Question,&nbsp;&nbsp; The Lincoln penny with the W mark, seems to be (only available?) with purchase of the Coin set......So all examples of those should be either PROOF or Uncirculated, and they are selling pretty high at the moment. Do you think&nbsp; value will fade too?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
