<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 671101, member: 9474&quot;]So let me make sure I understand what I think you are saying......because the mint is putting out more coins every year, this means that there is more options to chose from and therefore, less overall money to go around to buy the coins which then therefore drives the overall mintages down?&nbsp; If this is what you are saying that I agree with you.&nbsp; This is what I am interpreting that you are saying otherwise, I have no clue what you are trying to say.&nbsp; I agree with the first half of your statement about how modern technology makes it economically feasible to put put out multiple designs but I disagree with the final part when you say &quot;smaller mintages&quot;.&nbsp; Overall mintages are based on demand and affordability.&nbsp; We know that there is less of a demand for the FS coins than the AGE.&nbsp; Affordablility is something totally separate.&nbsp; Would I love to purchase the AGE set....sure...but can I afford to..... no.&nbsp; I choose to purchase the FS coins instead.&nbsp; So does that drive down the mintages of the AGE coins because I can&#039;t afford to buy them.....yes.&nbsp; But that is just life.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>After doing some research comparing the pricing of the 2008 FS coins and the 2008 AGE W coins (have to compare apples to apples) I don&#039;t see much of a price difference.&nbsp; Seems like the prices are almost identical.&nbsp; As far as the ASE and a proof commem, this is not comparing apples to apples.&nbsp; You forget that a surcharge is added to ALL commems.&nbsp; This in turn raises the prices.&nbsp; Take out that surcharge and I bet that the prices between the two coins will be almost exactly the same.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I know what you are trying to say.&nbsp; I take no offense to any of it.&nbsp; This wouldn&#039;t be America if we all thought alike.&nbsp; There is nothing wrong with trying to buy these coins for bullion prices and I am excited for you if you are able to do so.&nbsp; Unfortunately, we won&#039;t know until you and I are old and grey if these coins are going to be worth a darn and hopefully for my sake, they will be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
