<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 2507413, member: 24544&quot;]I really wonder how much the last part of your statement plays into collector demand.&nbsp; I view coins as at least a quasi Veblen good, a commodity where demand increases proportionally with high prices.&nbsp;&nbsp; The high prices paid for the top specimens can often draw people into collecting either that series, or that coin in particular.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But in order to get really high prices, I think you need more than just limited supply and high demand, I think you also need eye appeal.&nbsp; I think the low grade/eye appeal of so much of the republican bronze keeps the big money out of the series as I think it&#039;s hard for many high budget collectors to justify spending 5/6 figures on ugly and often small coin.&nbsp; And without at least a couple really nice examples of republican bronze fetching big money you don&#039;t get a Veblen good effect where the high price drives further demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
