<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Long Beard, post: 7925077, member: 108674&quot;]Popularity will always set the market price, not rarity and not a mintage total. A 1339 Ireland Half Penny, Edward III (One of two and the only in private hands) sold at the Whytes auction 4/26/2000 for 6,500 EUR. If another 1849 Double Eagle appeared outside the one at the Smithsonian would it sell for just under $10,000? Mintage, no matter how low, does not set the market price. It&#039;s merely an added factor based on popularity. So keeping with the subject, the exceedingly ridiculous prices only last until the popularity shifts to the next shiny object.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
