<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1469616, member: 26302"]Completely agree. Supply is completely secondary to demand. A 1909sVDB is a common coin really, it is only throngs of collectors who get started on "cheap" lincoln cent collections that create demand for this coin. If not for this excessive demand, a 09sVDB would be a $75 coin. I have tons and tons of 19th century US coins with far lower survival rates that are worth much less, simply because very few collect the series by date and mintmark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any generic advice regarding this topic I would have would be this: Buy what most dealer do not have. Rare, high grade, pretty coins for the grade, collectible coins are always in demand and dealers have a hard time keeping them in stock. Those coins, absent any other unknown factors, are the ones that historically have held their value/gone up the most. Cleaned, damaged, unattractive specimens that fill many dealers offering do not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
