[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2199780, member: 15929"]Thanks. [USER=59002]@Amanda Varner[/USER] posted on her "Life at the Coin Shop" blog an eye opening article on the subject of "Scarcity vs Rarity" and her experience in learning the difference. Read the blog here: [url]http://lifeatthecoinshop.com/2013/11/19/scarcity-vs-rarity-and-my-first-big-lesson/[/url] And take note that it all boils down to: Scarce: Something of which there are not very many Rare: Something of which there are not very many, that people actually want. For the Reverse Proof Presidential Dollars, folks "want"......... .........to jump onto the flipping bandwagon and these very folks are the one's bolstering the market for these. Which is fine by me. But...........that false market can only last for so long and that is where the true value of the coin comes in. It will always be scarce (to the tune of <17,000) but will folks actually "want" the coin(s) once interest has died? That is the high dollar gamble which I simply cannot buy into at $150 or $200 a set. Again, check back in 2018 which will be a couple of years after the Presidential Dollar Series has ended and the US Mint is heavy into whatever else it has planned to support it's deficit busting desires.[/QUOTE]
