<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vegas Vic, post: 1983796, member: 58810&quot;]I just don&#039;t think you understand how this works. We are not discussing nor debating Kennedy&#039;s value or contribution both in the war or president. We are not discussing his importance to history.</p><p><br /></p><p>What we specifically discussing is the <b>value </b>of the 2014 gold kennedy half. What you are not listening to is that while some have strong and emotional opinions of him, there are many collectors out there such as myself who were not even born until long after he died. As one such person while I acknowledge his contribution i have no <b>emotional </b>connection. As a result, a collector such as myself is not as driven as you might be.</p><p><br /></p><p>The main point I have been making is this. Take kennedy out and just think of this as any other coin, because most collectors do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Consider these statements</p><p>You have a modern coin with about $900 worth of gold in it selling for $1240 issue price. There was a ton of hype and false demand driven by the hof coin aftermarket and a lot of people bought this coin not to own but resell. Feel free to read about the Ana meeting. How dealers were paying people to buy them for them.&nbsp; Thus, the number out there really does exceed the demand by the end consumer. The coin is still available and will be minted if anyone wants to order more.</p><p>Now you have this.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]354051[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]354052[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Again put your own personal ideas about eBay aside. You have examples of Kennedy coins selling at under issue price on a very popular public auction website. This is a reflection of the current market as it stands today. So the discussion everyone but you are engaged in is will a coin underwater already with this much overhype be able to recover. Remember price is a function of supply and demand. Right now we have endless supply with documented lack of demand as illustrated by the sales above. also realize you are on a coin collecting website talking with the very people who make up that demand. You can pound your fist on the table as much as you want about Kennedy but ultimately, we the collective determine the demand and we the collective do not appear to be very interested. And unless you are going to personally purchase every half minted then our opinion of the coin will shape the demand and thus value above gold content. You should listen to our opinions as we are the very market for the coin and ultimately as a collective will decide what we want to pay for this coin and thus determine its value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
