<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 2435280, member: 22004"]The thing about "rare" coins with 50-100K mintages is there are many, many series with relatively low mintage dates and mms. Surviving mintages are another issue, but hoards can show up and there are still a lot of uncertified coins out there. They say "rare" because they assume collectors will flock to those, but demand is entirely dependent on how many people are interested in collecting the coin, how collectible it is and price. Some sellers are notorious for aggressive promotions banking on how some customers are willing suckers for that or don't want to be rude when inquiring. The thing is some of the niche collectors are becoming rarer than the actual coins, I don't know what will happen to the hobby as we continue to lose members to age.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
