<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 5140888, member: 103207&quot;]No that&#039;s not what I&#039;m saying.&nbsp; If they didn&#039;t put mintage limits on these coins knowing that a lot of people would want them the average collector would have no problem getting them.&nbsp; These modern coins were never intended to be placed in circulation so for the most part most will still be in the same condition as sold 50 to 100 years from now.&nbsp; A great example are Morgan dollars.&nbsp; Bags of Morgan&#039;s released in the 1950 and 60&#039;s.&nbsp; If I remember right 500,000 1881-S dollars were released.&nbsp; These were released in the millions.&nbsp; Because of that the Morgan dollar is probably most collected coin in mint state.&nbsp; Collectors like them and for the most part they are relatively cheap to buy.&nbsp; There is no reason the mint should be making so called modern rarities.&nbsp; Personally I own some US coins that less than 20 are known.&nbsp; I also have one that only 4 are know.&nbsp; These are truly rare coins.&nbsp; These modern coins will never be rare or even scarce.&nbsp; The 1995 W silver eagle was selling for $80,000.00 in Proof 70 but not any more.&nbsp; Right now 95 W silver eagles in proof 69 are selling for under $4,000.00.&nbsp; Keep in mind that only about 1/3 of the mintage has been certified the rest are still sitting in the original packing and most likely still in the collection of the person that bought them.&nbsp; Bottom line if the mint is making these coins for the collector then they should be making them to demand.&nbsp; They will actually make more money for the mint by not having a mintage limit.&nbsp; Once the year ends destroy any left over coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
