<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 5446238, member: 73489&quot;]<b>Was reading an article in CoinWeek from years ago</b> that said the reason that the premiums on Saints and other coins fluctuate is because of the telemarketers and infomercial people who will buy huge amounts of the low-60&#039;s Saints (and similar coins) and push the premium up.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #0000ff">The author estimated about 500 serious collectors of Saints and&nbsp; maybe 25,000 folks who are type collectors. </span></b> The serious collectors can have on average 50 or so coins; the type folks maybe just a few on average.</p><p><br /></p><p>After that, it&#039;s folks buying in place of modern bullion or those buying from the telemarketers and folks for investment, cultural, or whatever reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, it&#039;s the first time I&#039;ve ever seen a particular number given in regards to the number of collectors for a particular coin.&nbsp; At least it&#039;s a reference point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
