<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 3186891, member: 68&quot;]What you say is very very true but it&#039;s also very very misleading. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason these sets drop to nothing is that they are produced in enormous quantities that swamp all potential demand.&nbsp;&nbsp; Your statements are misleading simply because it&#039;s this swamping of demand that eventually causes the decrease in price and the decrease in price causes massive destruction and attrition. </p><p><br /></p><p>We live in a world where most of the nickels made after 1964 are scarcer in Unc than the &#039;50-D 5c but the &#039;50 sells for $10 and the later coins for 10c. </p><p><br /></p><p>People perceive the later coins as being exceedingly common so they don&#039;t collect them and there are fewer every day.&nbsp; The reality is that the later coins are very poorly made and only a small percentage of the few left look good.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the sets are cheap.&nbsp;&nbsp; But it&#039;s because there is no demand not because they are common.&nbsp; A lot of people are in the market for recent dates so their prices stay up until this demand is swamped and then the prices crash.&nbsp; This is the way it&#039;s always happens and will continue until the music stops and swarms seek chairs that no longer exist.&nbsp;&nbsp; And then some of the recent high prices will go even higher and stay there.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Who wants to catch the falling knife?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
