<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 26686740, member: 73489&quot;]Remember the 3 types of buyers for coins which determines the demand which must be satisfied at each level.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a guide for Saints based on what experts in the field have guestimated:</p><p><br /></p><ol> <li><b>Registry Collectors, including the Top ones who can pay any $$$. </b> You are talking maybe 500 to 1,000 of largely price-insensitive buyers who pretty much want at least 1 of every available coin in a set like Saints</li> <li><b>Type Collectors, who may just want 1 or 2 coins of a large series like Saints or maybe a few dozen in total. </b> They may buy just 1 of each year/mint or a few.&nbsp; You might have 25,000 to 50,000 (more ?) here.&nbsp; Price matters, especially if they already have the coin:&nbsp; a Type Collector with an MS-65 1924 is unlikely to want to add an MS-66 unless he has plenty of $$$.</li> <li><b>Investor Collectors, who are looking to buy gold or silver contained in a coin series like Saints. </b> You could have hundreds of thousands here buying the coins from late-night infomercials like RCTV or Blanchard.&nbsp; My clients in the 1980&#039;s and 1990&#039;s were buying these coins, and I was asleep at the wheel when Gem Saints were under $1,000 !! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></li> </ol><p>So since the Registry guys don&#039;t have enough of the Fab Five Saints (1929-32), the series will ALWAYS be expensive for the Type and Investor classes, who probably will never even sniff those coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>You probably need 25,000 or more coins in a series to NOT sell at an exorbitant premium given the numbers above of demand.&nbsp; Or you have to accept a much lower grade, assuming there are enough coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Will be interesting to compare &quot;common&quot; coins in the upcoming 2nd Edition Double Eagle Red Book and how many Liberty Heads and Saints are considered common in a grade like MS-65 or maybe MS-63.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
