<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 26097764, member: 76194&quot;]I paid $84 for AU-58.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That looks like a very attractive one. But yes, looking at prices over time there are a few issues that tend to do well and keep up with the rate of inflation, but others such as this one are basically dead. That was another factor that I considered before making up my mind to do this one in AU58 instead of MS like the rest of my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get me wrong, I have no interest in ever selling, but I figure that my personal desire or lack of desire to a particular coin in the set, eye appeal, and the overall market desirability of a particular coin does weigh into my purchase decisions. If it&#039;s a coin that has a lot of potential in high MS, and/or is a particular coin that I really lusy after, I will be inclined to pay more and occasionally even go over budget. But if it&#039;s a coin that I don&#039;t care much for, or has been steadily losing price over time, that will weigh into my decision. Especially considering that when I die my kids are going to have to sell this stuff, and I want them to do well with whatever they inherit. So if the coin doesn&#039;t do much for me, and it doesn&#039;t do well overall, I am willing to look for a good deal versus rushing for a very high end specimen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
