<p>[QUOTE="statequarterguy, post: 1872919, member: 21782"]True, like I said, no guarantees. But you really can't compare highly collected modern coins to 3 cent pieces with a much lower type coin collector base - I know no one who collects 3 cent coin sets - it's like comparing apples & oranges. Now, give me an example of a highly collected modern circulating type coin with mintages similar to the satins that haven't preformed well. There aren't any.</p><p> </p><p>The biggest problem with the satins is Whitman Publishing. All but the 2009 cents aren't listed separately in the Red Book and only a footnote for the mint sets acknowledges them, and no holes for them in folders/albums. Even the 2009 cents that are listed separately don't show the mintages as of 2014. All of this could change over night - if it doesn't, it will just take more time for new collectors to figure out they exist. And, Whitman will continue to become less relevant, as they have been doing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
