<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 556370, member: 5036"]I see columbians at every shop I visit. They are everywhere, now of someone were to snatch up a million or so or a ton of em went into the smelter and suddenly there were very few, the price might go up $2, if you're lucky. They just aren't sought after coins the way some other series are. Compare if you will the 1916D mercury dime and the 1914 S barber quarter. Both have about the same mintage around 264,000 yet the dime goes for $800-1000 in G-4 the quarter goes for $60-70. Again for instance take the 1909S VDB and the 1913 quarter, about the same mintage. Prices the 1909 in G $700-800 the 1913...$25 is it fair, no is it reality yes. But why??? because those coins are more widely collected and sought after than their contemporaries, just like most commems are greatly underapreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
