<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 12838, member: 487"]Very good replies. As often on the dealer end of the business, we tend to forget what collectors actually think. As mentioned, many dealers consider inventory rare. Especially in this day of the declining coin-store. I often hear the touted numbers of collectors that have entered the hobby. Does this really effect the prices of coins? Do others perpetuate this myth? I see many coins of the newer coins that are sold for incredible prices because of how rare the coin or condition of the coin is. Do collectors really believe that out of hundreds of millions of coins produced that only 10 can reach rarity within the date? </p><p><br /></p><p>I read with interest about these kinds of coins. Many of the coins mentioned here in this discussion are considered tough to find. If you attend any major show, many examples of the key Lincolns can be found, yet they are rare. I hear about the tough Morgan dates, yet the same thing can be said. The 95 proof being the lone example. </p><p>While price may be the ultimate factor in which coins are bought, price doesn't make it rare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
