<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2549067, member: 112&quot;]Yeah, that&#039;s true. But there&#039;s more to it than that. When you say creating collectibles, I assume you&#039;re talking about low mintage items that will hopefully significantly increase in value, items that will have a degree of scarceness. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, what you don&#039;t realize is that the mint abhors the very idea of creating a rarity. They go out of their way to make sure that does not happen, and they always have. </p><p><br /></p><p>The only &quot;rarities&quot; produced by the US Mint happen completely by accident, by circumstances beyond their control. It is in fact you, the customer, who creates so called rarities. And it happens when the mint produces a given coin that customers just don&#039;t seem to like, at the time they are produced, and thus buy only a few of them. This alone is what causes any given coin to end up having a low mintage. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not the mint, it&#039;s you the customer, who does this. And you do it without even knowing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
