<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 26845, member: 68&quot;]It&#039;s probably not possible for any coin to truly be overpriced or underpriced.&nbsp; They can have artificially high or low demand because of prevailing attitudes of collectors.&nbsp; The &#039;09-S vdb for instance was saved in massive quantities in high grade and has always enjoyed substantial demand.&nbsp; It&#039;s a great coin but when you compare it to the SUPPLY of other coins in the same series or to the 1877 indian cent then the price seems dramatically overblown.&nbsp; Finding gems of this coin can be much easier than finding some of the memorial gems and certainly the only thing scarce about the coin in good is that most were pulled out long before they wore to this level. And still it sells for about the same as the far scarcer 1877 indian.&nbsp; The difference in both cases is demand.&nbsp; Many collectors collect the 1909-&#039;58 Lincolns and this coin is a favorite and is well known even among the general public.&nbsp; The extra demand is to some degree perfectly natural since even someone who only collects Lincoln items, first year issues or the like may want an example.&nbsp; In any case though the simple fact is that some coins enjoy far more demand than other coins even within the same series.&nbsp; While the prices of some of the later coins can be surprising because of the increased demand caused by newbies, it should be remembered that for the main part most moderns do sell for small fractions of the price of equally rare popular coins like Morgans or large cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
