<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 681961, member: 4552"]This type of question comes up in all types of buisnesses. No it's nothing to do with quantity of sets, rarity of sets, popularity of sets and/or individual coins. It's called buisness. If you take your car to a junk yard and get $50 for it. Go back and you'll find that all the parts are being sold separately and for possibly thousands of dollars. Even a brand new car taken apart can be sold for possilby hundreds of times it's original cost as parts. This is just called buisness. Someone purchases a Proof set, takes it apart, places each coin in a 2x2, sells it for way, way more than it should be worth but if you need only that coin, that's buisness. </p><p>At one coin show there is a lady dealer that her and her husband order many, many Proof and Uncirc sets every year. They sell each coin separately in 2x2's at coin shows and make a small fortune doing so. Many, many people know them and look forward to buying just that one coin they need to fill a blank in an Album. They usually have one of the busiest tables at that show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
