<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1405100, member: 66&quot;]And to a LOT of people an SVDB cent is only something to be used to help pay the sales tax on a purchase.&nbsp; A 16-D dime can be sold for scrap to a hotel based gold and silver buyer because to the owner that&#039;s all it is worth.&nbsp; No different that rest of the handful of mercury dimes they own.&nbsp; To US they are rare and valuable coins we would love to own and keep.&nbsp; But if you aren&#039;t a collector they are just something to sell for whatever they can get to buy something THEY want.&nbsp; You have no interest in art bars so they are just bullion.&nbsp; But to a bar collector some are rare and valuable, and in the case of the Coca-Cola bars there are the specialized collectors of Coca-Cola memorabilia which increases demand for those art bars even further.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Most collector groups just can&#039;t understand why others collect what they do, and aren&#039;t fascinated by the same things they are.&nbsp; Collectors of classics don&#039;t understand collectors of moderns because &quot;The pieces are so common&quot;.&nbsp; Collectors of moderns don&#039;t understand collectors of classics because you often have to have coins of less than spectacular condition in your collection.&nbsp; Variety collectors don&#039;t understand why others don&#039;t find the study of the small changes in the details of the individual dies fascinating.&nbsp; And most collectors don&#039;t understand why mint error collectors want defective coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
