<p>[QUOTE="johnrpva, post: 2841563, member: 95358"]The issue with proof sets and mint sets is that everyone who wants one buys one (and multiples for future investment) so the demand is more than saturated shortly after time of issue...the next thing is the huge number of issues (see Canada, Nieue, Isle of Man and dozens of other countries plus our own) coming out annually so that no one can collect them all and the cash drained from real numismatics is a big piece of the lethargy in the market...I have been taking tables at area shows...the worst experience is when the TV buyer comes to your table to sell their coins and collect their profits from their shrewd investment and accuse you of being a crook when you offer them what the coins are really worth...with tens of thousands of overhead to produce shows, keep in mind that you cannot promote rare coins - they have to be available in big quantities and at low prices to cover that overhead...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
