<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 587341, member: 9474"]This would be great if this happens, and I hope it does, but something I have learned over the years that it is not necessarily about mintage, but also demand. There is a lot of demand for the buffs, but there is a lot more for the ASE that is why the price has driven up so high. Had it not been for the demand, the price would be much less. </p><p> </p><p>Lets take two coins to illustrate my point. The 2006 AGE Rev proof and the 2007 APE rev proof. The AGE has a total mintage of 20,000 and the APE has a total mintage just a tad under 20k. Platinum is a bit more expensive than gold, but the AGE is 1oz and the APE is 1/2oz. The cost for the AGE is around 2500 to 3k, but the price for the APE is 1k and if you are lucky, you can find it for less. So whats my point? AGEs are more popular than APEs thus the demand is driving the value up for the AGEs and not the APEs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
