[QUOTE="900fine, post: 406072, member: 6036"]Non-collectors often fail to understand. Sometimes, non-collectors of coins can't understand why someone would pay more than 10c for a dime. Similarly, folks who aren't interested in toned coins don't understand tone premiums. I'm not a toned coin collector, but I can certainly understand why they sell for a premium ! One word - [B]desirability[/B]. As you stated so well, it's all about supply and demand. Low supply ! Yes, I did. Thanks. Very well said. I truly appreciate your numerical analysis. It reminds me of Sheldon's attempt to create a "science" of pricing for Large Cents, from which we get the 70-point grading scale. It didn't work for him, or anyone else. It never will. Yes, there is a lot of strong science-style thinking around here, and that's great. But sometimes we forget the enormous impact of the purely aesthetic and emotional, which are dominant factors in the collector mindset. It's not rational, so sometimes science and math do not model us very well ! [B]Coins + Science + Math + Art + Emotion = Numismatics[/B] It's a complex blend.[/QUOTE]
