<p>[QUOTE="Jwt708, post: 1959348, member: 32619"]Generally for collectors, condition is more important than mintage. It has to do with supply and demand. I have military trade tokens that have mintages of 5,000 with an unknown amount surviving, that can be bought for ten dollars or less. A coin minted from a precious metal like gold or silver will at least retain their melt value but may lose or develop a collector value. Look at Morgan dollars. Even cull examples are still worth something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
