<p>[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 394229, member: 4373"]You got to be a bit reasonable when it comes to "investment". You must understand that what determines price is nothing more than supply and demand. Because modern coins are struck in millions, unless the US population balloons to several hundred millions in a few years time like the population of China or India, they are just common. Or if a massive amount of them get melted down, that would drive prices up. </p><p><br /></p><p>That is the very reason why some of the older classics are just expensive - there weren't that many struck but back in those days, it was plentiful enough for the population. Not to forget that if they can't be sold such as commemorative coins, they just get remelted, making them rarer. These days, just too many are struck. Way too much to make any coins rare unless it's a scarce variety or some insane error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
