<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2053550, member: 112&quot;]Mintages rarely have anything to do with it.Coins from a hundred years were struck in the hundreds of millions. And those numbers were just as big then as the numbers of today are now. But those exact coins are eminently collectible and highly sought after today.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, many coins from a hundred years ago or more, even though they had huge mintages for the time, today only exist in small numbers due to attrition. And then there are those where the mintage was under a million, or a few hundred thousand, and yet today nearly the entire mintage still exists. And they can be extremely expensive, even with hundreds of thousands of them readily available.</p><p><br /></p><p>So no, it&#039;s not the numbers. It&#039;s people, just people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
