<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coolhandred24, post: 8325051, member: 112919&quot;]As previously stated demand is a much more important factor than supply when establishing the price of a coin.&nbsp; And it translates to all other collectibles including comic books, baseball cards, stamps, autographs, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are many US coins that are scarce, less than 1000 minted, that are available for less than more popular coins.&nbsp; For example, most of the Proof Indian Head cents have mintages less than 4,000 which can be obtained in MS 64 for approx. $500 or less.&nbsp; A 1909-S VDB Lincoln, (mintage 484,000) in MS 64 is a $1500+ coin.&nbsp; That is because the demand for the 1909-S VDB is much greater than the demand for Proof Indian Cents.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And I am very confident in stating a stamped letter from one of your ancestors to their Mother or Father from the 1890s would only be worth a couple of dollars if that.&nbsp; However, if they received a signed letter from Theodore Roosevelt the letter would be worth $500- $1000.&nbsp; Both are unique, one of a kind, and exceedingly rare.&nbsp; However unfortunately your ancestor, (and mine unless they were well-known personalities), have negligible demand from collectors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not saying you are wrong in your interest in collecting Classic Commemorative Half Dollars, rather keep an eye on the big picture.&nbsp; Collect what you love, and leave the speculating to others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
