[QUOTE="cladking, post: 33706, member: 68"]GDJMSP gave such a great answer it could merely be left as is but I'll try to muddy the waters a little. Prices for collectibles are based on the interplay of supply and demand. Since there tends to be more potential collectors of a series than coins in most cases, it is largely determined by the demand. Coins with increasing demand will tend to do go up in price the fastest. Each series is different and has different things which attract collectors. Ask yourself what attracts you to the series; is it the perfection of the coins, their scarcity, beauty, history, rarity, or what? Then ask yourself what you believe others seek in the series and how this might change over time. Based on these answers can come the answer to your question. I personally believe that in the later series the mint state coins will do best in terms of increase because very few collectors seek them and this number seems so likely to increase. But I still collect what I like which is both the MS and PR and even set a few PR aside for "future demand".[/QUOTE]
