<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 1131843, member: 9167&quot;]Over-valued is hard to determine. I mean, if someone is willing to pay a certain amount for a coin, then thats it&#039;s value, whether anyone else agrees with the amount or not. That value may not carry over or translate to other similar coins, or even the same one the next time it sells, but at that moment it defines it&#039;s value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, though, technical definitions aside, in my collecting I find all US coins minted after about 1880 as being over valued. There are no rarities, only phantom demands. By that I mean, with say 16D merc dimes and 09S vdb Lincolns, the numbers don&#039;t by any stretch of the imagination make them scarce, and demand is what supposedly drives their price. But, if demand makes them &quot;scarce&quot;, why is it I can walk into any coin shop in any city in any state and see at least one, usually multiple examples of these coins any day of the week? Thats not scarce at all.</p><p>Guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
