[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 5010269, member: 105098"]I dunno, pretty sure there's only one 75th anniversary of the end of WWII. I'll need to check my Encyclopedia Britannica about that. They may do other privy marks in the future no doubt, but this one... I dunno. it's everything to do with the mintage of it. is 1945 of them enough for demand? Judging by how quick it sold out probably not, but we won't know for sure until they are all in collector hands and then what it takes to pry an example away from a collector. if it stays among flippers trying to make a buck, and collectors don't sit on them in collections, the price won't get crazier than this, but I think, it's possible collectors will want this issue to hang on to. Lowest Mintage St. Gaudens is the 1907 high relief, at 12,367 minted. theres a couple liberty double eagles 1882, 1885, 1886, 1891 that are lower mintages than this one. but not the same kind of "class of coin" the liberty double eagles were for use. this one is a proof and will all grade highly so populations will be higher in high grades also, and no attrition over time effect either. Anyways, supply and demand I guess, only 1945 people worldwide can have one of these in their collections.[/QUOTE]
