[QUOTE="rbm86, post: 12824, member: 854"]GD hit the nail on the head (as usual) -- It boils down to economics -- supply and demand. What is interesting is how supply and demand (mostly demand) changes over time. For example, when the 1975 Proof Set first came out, the 75-S Lincoln, a common coin, sold for as high as $20 because it was the first year the San Franciso cents were proof-only. Once the hype died down, and the end of circulation strike San Franciso cents became a reality for every year thereafter, the price declined, and the 75-s proof lincoln can now be had for about $2.50. Examples of supply changes are less common. The one that comes to mind is the discovery of the GSA hoard of Carson City silver dollars.[/QUOTE]
