<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 2498642, member: 29643&quot;]I&#039;m not missing the points. I think they&#039;re flawed in nature.</p><p>1) Hoarders are young. If the hoarders are young, you can likely get the coins out of their hands by offering double what they paid. Since they&#039;re hoarding, this was likely just a little over face per set. So, either you can get supply by offering double the bid to young hoarders or the hoarders aren&#039;t as young as you think.</p><p>2) Collectors don&#039;t collect them and dealers don&#039;t stock them. That means they&#039;re somewhere, since it wouldn&#039;t be efficient for the original purchasers to cut out the coins and roll them, just to get face value from a bank. Just because they&#039;re not out for sale doesn&#039;t mean the coins aren&#039;t in inventory, it merely means they don&#039;t warrant shelf space.</p><p>3) The sets are gone. This is basically a rehashing of the first two points, so go reread my responses on those.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, if demand were generated en masse, so dealers would find it worthwhile to haul the sets out of storage, there would be supply. The sets didn&#039;t enter into circulation or the hobby would have heard something somewhere about a hoard found in bankrolls. The coins, for the most part, are still in Mint Sets, stored somewhere. The question is merely about making a market for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m telling you, if you took out a national ad offering $10 per set, you&#039;d probably get responses far exceeding 50,000 sets. This argument sounds better in theory than in reality, because, in practice, the sets still exist, therefore, the supply still exists.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Nevermind. I don&#039;t know how to rehash/reword any of what I&#039;ve said, so you&#039;re right. Low mintage Ike dollars have no supply, even though they exist in mint sets that still haven&#039;t been cherrypicked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
