<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2129272, member: 71723&quot;]Demand trumps all, yes, but it is also the side of the equation most subject to change over time. Supply has a hard ceiling called mintage, and is well documented, outside of Cold War Soviet era Russian. Then there are lower ceilings called survivorship. Only Chinese fakes make supply go up. Demand, aka &quot;taste&quot; or &quot;popularity&quot; drives current prices, but is potentially fickle, upward and downward. For an example, see the history of the prices for pre-statehood Washington quarters from 1999 until now. The statehood program boosted demand for all Washingtons, and then it fell back again. The trick is to have what becomes hot, in order to sell into that new demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
