<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1639871, member: 24544&quot;]Price is not based on age, it&#039;s based on supply and demand, there were 25 billion wheat cents minted vs 2 billion indian head.&nbsp; Last point to consider, what happens when, and it will happen, the cent is discontinued and kids no longer start off by collecting cents from circulation?&nbsp; What do you think drives the current price of wheat cents, it&#039;s baby boomers coming back into the field and finishing off a childhood set.&nbsp; This will not happen in 20-30 years as kids will no longer be collecting these as a first set.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Where are you pulling these numbers from?&nbsp; This is even more generous then your previous $0.05 to $0.15 &#039;forecast&#039;?&nbsp; But even going off your example it&#039;s a 5.5% annualized return, which I still would not consider a good investment.&nbsp; Plus there are carrying costs, liquidity costs, and pain in the rear costs.&nbsp; You do realize that 100,000 cents weights around 700 pounds, have fun moving that around with you for the next 30 years...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Why does the value only go up and not down?&nbsp; To my mind, wheat cents are the series with the greatest potential downside in price.&nbsp; Their price is based solely on the nostalgia of a huge demographic aging through their peak earning years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Final thought to put the astronomically high number of surviving wheat cents into perspective for you.&nbsp; There are more 1909 s vdb&#039;s surviving today then there are ALL HALF CENT YEARS COMBINED!!!&nbsp; Then only way to simply keep the prices where they are is to keep the staggering demand for them up as well, is that a bet you want to make?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
