<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 3900049, member: 77814&quot;]I think the earlier post about &quot;Market Demand&quot; is the key here.</p><p>There are many examples in coins and out of coins where something had a very limited manufacturing, but there was no demand.&nbsp; Thus prices drop like a rock.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there are the &quot;First Spouse&quot; coins mentioned.&nbsp; Some had demand, others not so.&nbsp; Thus you can buy them close to spot for Proof *or* BU, whereas a few of them have some Market Demand and you pay a premium for them.&nbsp;&nbsp; You&#039;ll see the same thing with $5 and $10 commems.</p><p><br /></p><p>So mintage has nothing to do with it. If no one buys it there is a limited run.&nbsp; Of course, later on &quot;demand&quot; may change, and prices may skyrocket. Then after a while the &quot;demand&quot; may fade to nothing and prices fall back down (ie, such as the 2017 Congrats ASE ($60 release price, then someone notices .. goes up to $2,000, now you can get slabbed versions from $69-120).&nbsp; So in this case we had a &quot;momentum price spike&quot; based on a short supply and an incredulous short time demand.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure there various examples of various situations all over the board.&nbsp; And much of it can be related to whether there *is* or *isn&#039;t* &quot;demand&quot; in a certain timeframe in relation to the respective liquid supply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
