<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1769772, member: 10103&quot;]Just because a coin has a low mintage, it doesn&#039;t necessarily mean it&#039;s valuable.&nbsp; What makes a coin valuable is the demand for it.&nbsp; Take for example the 2001 American buffalo (commemorative) silver dollar.&nbsp; The maximum authorized mintage for the coin was 500,000 across all product lines.&nbsp; Now that&#039;s a high number for a commemorative coin and yet sales of the issue halted after only three weeks.&nbsp; The final production numbers were 227,131 (unc) and 272,869 (proof) and yet the coins still command quite a premium while other modern commems with much lesser mintage numbers go for (often times) less than the mint issue price.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Demand.&nbsp; Collectors love the classic design and are willing to pay the premium that the coin commands in the market place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
