<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1255923, member: 26302&quot;]I understand what you are saying, but we simply don&#039;t know. My point about sVDB&#039;s being for sale means they are not rare, just expensive because of demand. You say every nickel is face value, try going out and finding 82 or 83 BU nickels for face. I bought BU rolls of 38d and 39d years ago I sure am not selling for face. </p><p><br /></p><p>Its all relative, supply can creat demand. Look at Morgans. They are about the most common US coin out there short of lincoln cents. It is the supply of them that has created demand for scarcer dates. All I am saying is in the future it could be the supply of current coins that creates demand for scarcer dates, regardless the absolute mintage. The sVDB proves that point, since its mintage and survivorship in most regards is not small, it is NOT a rare coin, yet so many other cents were made that they have created a demand for a RELATIVE scarcity, if not a true scarcity.</p><p><br /></p><p>400 million mintage quarters could very well be in demand in the future, considering how few of them remain in BU condition. To me, all of the 1982 and 1983 coins have proven that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Btw I am not advising falling for sales pitches, or sinking a ton of money on idle speculation, its just TC is right, and most collectors miss the next collecting area since they consider them &quot;too common&quot; at the time. Why did almost no dealers stock up on 1916 SL quarters, 1916d dimes, etc? They all considered them &quot;too common&quot; and never worthy of much numismatic premiums. Its well documented that in 1924 a collector went into a show in NY and bought BU 1916 quarters for $.50, 1916d dimes for $.35, and 1921 halves for $.70. None of these items were deemed &quot;collectible&quot;. Even every date for buffalo nickels in BU at the show were going for a dime or less. </p><p><br /></p><p>Am I saying this will replay itself? IDK, but it has happened over and over again in coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
