<p>[QUOTE=&quot;asciibaron, post: 369082, member: 8566&quot;]there have always been investors in the hobby.&nbsp; a coin collector knows the true value of a coin, not just the current market price.&nbsp; there are many excellent coins out there that represent incredible value for the market price - many unpopular coins are much more rare than many of the so-called rarities - some of which eclipse the unpopular coins with mintage figures several times as many.</p><p><br /></p><p>if you collect &quot;unpopular&quot; coins, you can buy very rare coins for little money.&nbsp; be prepared to dig and dig for high grade examples, but they exist.&nbsp; there are more 1909 S VDB cents then there are of the Iceland 1926 1 eyrir, but the price does not reflect that rarity.&nbsp; sure the 1909 S VDB is rare when compared to other Lincoln cents, but it is not rare when compared to other coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>supply and demand drives the market, the more popular a lower mintage coin is, the greater it&#039;s market value.&nbsp; and that&#039;s what attracts the investors.&nbsp; nothing new here, same as it ever was, and so it goes.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
