[QUOTE="longnine009, post: 1440478, member: 1886"]When the listing begins with "WOW!" and goes on to tell how the rareity was "discovered" in the quaint estate of an old country Englishman, it's probably as common as water. I can tell you that a Vietnam Era Black Horse token is probably rare based on my experience of never seeing one, that wasn't salvaged and corroded. If one does turn up I don't think it going to sell for eight million dollars. There has to high demand to go with the low avalibaility. Those demanding it must be willing and *able* to pay high prices. Demand can be distorted by dealer hype and collector delusions. Supply can change from discovery of hoards or sudden dumping of hoards. Supply and demand has a nasty habit of reverting to the mean. Preceded on occasion by attics collasping from the weight of bags or the spectacle of collectors running with their stack of 1950D nickels to keep 'em from tipping over.[/QUOTE]
