[QUOTE="CoinOKC, post: 43858, member: 2146"]I would also like to add "demand". For instance, "demand" for the 1999 Silver Proof Set has shot up tremendously causing a marked price increase during the past 6 years, whereas a Good Condition (G-4) 1916-D Mercury Dime has remained relatively stable in regards to the ratio of price increase. 1916-D Mercury Dimes (regardless of condition) are always in demand, but so is the 1999 Silver Proof Set with the advent of the State Quarters Program. Will this always remain so? Doubtful. IMHO, 1916-D Mercurys will [u]ALWAYS[/u] remain in high demand, but will the 1999 Silver Proof Sets? Well, let me answer that after the end of the State Quarters Program. Remember, just because something is popular today doesn't mean it's going to be popular tomorrow (and vice versa). I probably haven't given you much useful input, but you'll remain happy if you collect coins as a "hobby" instead of as an "investment".[/QUOTE]
