<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1482395, member: 19065&quot;]Danr tries, but while he&#039;s minding the numbers and dreaming of opportunities, someone has to mind the reality for him, too. Modern Mint products and the relatively brief window of &#039;opportunity&#039; they occassionally present produces more junk than rewards. Too many &#039;collectors&#039; these days collect by mintage statistics, which we see sting many soon after the new-ness of the product fades, the mintage is exceeded or underwhlems and the numismtic press presses the hobbyist to believe after the fact that low demand on a modern coin no longer available from the Mint, warrants sudden premium due to a relatively smaller mintage figure when compared to some other manufactured NIFC collectible. These forums see all kinds of cheerleaders and I comment thus to point out there is an opposite to the pom pom waving. Collectors can and should exercise caution and restraint in buying just anything new churned out and within one&#039;s budget range. Collectors ought to weigh the meaning of the piece in their collection rather than just citing potential value due to perceived low mintage figures. What&#039;s a low mintage figure in US modern coins is abundant and gross supply overload compared to other world Mint&#039;s modern product offerings. So be cautious and remember why you are collecting (buying) what you collect. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
