<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 10076, member: 112&quot;]There are two things at play here - novelty and pedigree. The novelty is that these coins are available for the first time and they come from a shipwreck. There are a great many collectors out there who will pay substantial premiums for shipwreck coins - but only shipwreck coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>The pedigree is the particular ship. To some this is enough to warrant a premium. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s just like anything else - if it happens to be something that a particular collector wants - it will fetch a premium. This can be toned coins, or blast white coins. This can be coins from a particular mint or a certain country. It doesn&#039;t really matter. All that matters is that somebody wants it for what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the kicker is this - there are only so many of those folks out there. And when they all have the coins they want - the others don&#039;t sell so well. That&#039;s when the prices drop to normal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
