<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1636112, member: 4626&quot;]I don&#039;t get your logic.&nbsp; They&#039;re going to be valuable because they&#039;re slow sellers?&nbsp; Nobody wants them now, so they&#039;ll be valuable because people will change their mind and want them later?</p><p><br /></p><p>A coin&#039;s rarity does not make it valuable.&nbsp; A coin&#039;s rarity <i>relative to its demand</i> makes it valuable.&nbsp; If nobody wants it now so they don&#039;t mint many, it&#039;s no proof that the demand will go up because of how rare it is.&nbsp; If everybody who wants one has one, who are the owners of them going to sell to?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s some basic microeconomics for you.&nbsp; Price is set by supply and demand.&nbsp; If they&#039;re selling slow, that means demand is low.&nbsp; That&#039;s not going to raise the price in the future, not in the short term anyway.&nbsp; Heck the mint may melt the unsold ones down eventually.&nbsp; Third party dealers may melt the ones they can&#039;t sell down just to cut their losses.&nbsp; Sure, you got a rare Alice Paul coin now, but nobody else wants it.&nbsp; 50 years from now it may be a valuable rare coin, so hey, your great grandkids get a nice inheritance, but what good does that do you?</p><p><br /></p><p>To sum it up: the fact that a coin is a slow seller should be an indication it&#039;s NOT going to be a good investment, at least not in your lifetime.&nbsp; If people thought it was a good buy, they&#039;d be buying it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
