Message:: [QUOTE="moneycostingmemoney, post: 2767678, member: 86367"]Speculation is fun, but I'd enjoy just being a spectator for that thread. "Key dates" are speculative, to a point. Look at the 1903-O Morgan. It was a "key date" because many thought it had been melted down as a part of the Pittman act. There was a very small population released into the wild and that held the value high...and then the GSA hoard was released and the price fell through its floor. Taking your example of the LWC there were somewhat accurate minting populations released that help back their value. Some values don't make sense going on population alone, but many do. One that I don't get (and asked in a thread and many others don't get it either) the 14D had 1193000 reported minted and is valued at 200 in G4. The 31S had 866000 reported minted and is valued at 60. My speculation...they were hoarded. I think you are close in saying the "key dates" will do poorly, comparing them to today's values, but I look at it as more of a market correction. Everyone that hoarded those currently overvalued coins will be flooding the market when they sell off. Thats when I'll fill the 14D and 09S-VDB holes in my Whitman. Edit- a lot could happen with the prices of LW/MC coppers if Uncle Sam gives the long awaited Ok to melt them. Then it will get really interesting.[/QUOTE]
