<p>[QUOTE="crystalk64, post: 87872, member: 1873"]Speedy I will reply as soon as I have the time but must say this at this time---AT NO POINT IN MY POST DID I USE THE WORD RARE!!! You young collectors MUST get that word OUT of your vocabulary, along with every one else hyping junk on Ebay. Learn what RARE and UNIQUE really stand for and ONLY use it then as it is defined! To put things into a little better perspective there have been 1,115,000 mint sets made and sold thus far. How many have been destroyed by cutting them open? 100,000 sets, 200,000 sets, 300,000 sets or more? You don't know and neither do I and here in lies the greatest single reason for prices to escalate and, say by mid-summer next year all the dealers are sold out! Well what must happen then to get you and me to turn loose off a few sets? Basically it is the same thing throughout this hobby. How many 1889CC Morgan dollars are left? Pick any coin, check dealers inventories and the answer is still the same. If they are far and few prices will spiral and until someone releases a hoard of any coin that will pretty much hold true. Or, if you or I should stumble on to buried or sunken treasure full of the same date, low mintage, high priced rarities the opposite could take place. Prices will drop on those all ready known to exsist! Will wait until this time next year and then you can poke fun at my 30 years of experience for being wrong or do just the opposite and admit your youth may sometimes speak a little quick and with inexperience? You must alwasy consider there are a great number of collectors, both old and new, reading these posts for a great number of reasons. Give it some thought![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
