Since the supply (mintage) is fixed and known, the only way for a coin to rise in price is to see an increase in demand. Using that reasoning, you should try and determine which series is most likely to attract new collectors and I am sure that it won't be trimes.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMHO, fluctuations in market prices are actually artificially created by the marketing aspect of the hobby.
