<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 992301, member: 19065&quot;]<i>Survival rates</i> will eventually have an effect, if vast numbers of unpopular FS coins are selling at bullion spot levels, many will end up in the melt and the available numismatic &#039;high grade&#039; examples will be minimal. Don&#039;t be fooled by published mintage figures. It is certainly just an opinion of mine but one I think needs to be offered in warning lest we forget when considering purchases of significant value. I don&#039;t deny that low mintages help (hype?) a coins value to some degree, but there are other factors to consider within the number of any one coin type or date minted. Please note that while I follow the FS coins, I do not personally collect them as they are unattractive to me and do not stimulate my interests, but the mintage warning can be applied in the case of many (perhaps even all) coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
