[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3425008, member: 77814"]another problem .. why melt them? If you have half the population of a coin, then there's only at most a 50% supply in the marketplace. Of course, ignoring the strong hands concept and assuming a 100% liquid marketplace, which it's not. But if you melt part of your supply that you've pulled out of the marketplace you have now limited your ability to "cash out". You'll be able to sell the first 10% (or whatever amount) non-melted coins at a higher value initially if demand is still high with demand that has no price limits. But there lies the problem. As you want more for something that has a lower supply, what is the efficient pricing scenario? As the prices moves up, you'll lose buyers. Then the efficient model of valuation vs buying cost comes into play vs alternative options. You could, price your coin out of the market where demand would flat line until your price dropped to a more efficient level as there would be alternatives to your coin, which is another indirect price pressure. Well, see how it works though. I've been pulling 1982 D copper cents out of circulation for years now. I have bunches of them even though only 1 has been *officially* found. I have the rest of them. :)[/QUOTE]
