Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 5780195, member: 112"]And, a lot of times a coin has neither a low mintage (and still exist in numbers exceeding tens of thousands of examples) or a high grade - and is still very expensive, even in low grades ! Which brings us to your primary question - In the end it usually boils down to one simple word - popularity. If a coin is popular regardless of its mintage, regardless of its grade, regardless how many still exist, it's usually going to be expensive. But if a coin is not popular, it can have very low mintage (even under 100), it can be a high grade, and it's still inexpensive, cheap even.[/QUOTE]
