<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2753025, member: 68&quot;]The availability of nice choice BU Ikes is plummeting. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not that they are scarce but at these low prices the demand is beginning to outstrip the available supply.&nbsp; Most of the BU rolls have already been busted up and the few surviving mint sets usually have bad and or tarnished Ikes.&nbsp; This really started back last November or so but so far it&#039;s not apparent because buyers aren&#039;t panicking.&nbsp; I seriously doubt that nominal price increases will change this balance because this time it&#039;s fundamental; there are no more casual sellers. </p><p><br /></p><p>I expect significant price increases in the next year and this should propel the demand for Ikes.&nbsp; Let&#039;s face it; buyers who are now paying $3 to $8 each for these aren&#039;t going to balk at having to pay $5 to $20.&nbsp; It will remain an inexpensive collection.&nbsp; Demand for proofs and silvers will ratchet up a little because success feeds success.&nbsp; These are in better supply and will come on the market with nominal price increases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
