<p>[QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 1539594, member: 37356"]I think what a collector is interested in really depends on the individual collector. Key dates are dates that are rare and are usually the last dates a collector gets to finish a set. As far as silver melt value, I think the value of the coin is determined by silver melt if the numismatic value is lower than the melt value. If silver drops significantly below the numismatic value, this value may apply to the coin. That is a good question though, especially coins that seem to sell at multiples of melt or a certain amount over melt. Does the value of the coin change when melt value changes? I don't believe it does, I think it is one or the other. The good thing about silver coins that have value to collectors is that if the price of silver falls, you still have coins collectors want. Collector value is generally more stable it seems. One issue is that you often pay retail value for them and sell them at wholesale and I would imagine it takes a long time for the retail price you paid to equal the wholesale price unless you got a really good deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
