[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 3290707, member: 59677"]If the population in the world is 5 it's rare, but if only for people cared to own it it's not going to increase in value. That's the problem with proof sets. Demand went from 1.5m to 1.1m to 800K - At which point people assumed that 800 K being less than 1.1 million it had to be rare and would be valuable. My personal belief is it's a combination of people holding back from selling so the available supply is just slightly less than the demand and keeps the price up. Sort of if I don't actually sell it then I haven't taken a loss mentality[/QUOTE]
