<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1456758, member: 15929&quot;]It doesn&#039;t really matter anyway. What REALLY matters is:</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone noticed the coin. (Just like the 1922 No D Lincoln) </p><p>Someone brought the coin to the attention of the collecting community. (Just like the 1937-D 3 Leg Buffalo). </p><p>Someone had a bunch of them seeing as how they hoarded as much as they could before announcing the discovery. (Just like the 1972/72 Doubled Die Lincoln).</p><p>Attention to the coin(s) became widespread. (Just like the Minnesota Extra Tree Washington&#039;s)</p><p>The prices in the coins rose dramatically in a short period of time. (Just like the 1970-D Kennedy Half Dollars)</p><p>Someone made a lot of money off of selling the coins! (Just like the 2008-W Rev 07 Silver Eagle)</p><p><br /></p><p>And now, folks are whining about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s the coin business. Those that move in quickly make the best profits off of those that don&#039;t recognize the opportunity thats staring them in the face. (Just like the 2011 25th Anniversary Sets)</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin business is controlled and manipulated by the coin collectors to further their particular interests and bring value to what they collect. (Just like the hype and baloney surrounding Morgan Dollars.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing new here and nothing so revealing other than an easily recognizeable variety was found, marketed and sold. It&#039;s history now resides in coin collecting history so that in 50 or 100 years, folks will collect these coins (like they do any other variety), pay extravagant amounts for them (like the 1909-SVDB and 1955/55) and be as happy as a pig in a polk when they obtain one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, those future collectors will sit around wondering why in the heck more folks didn&#039;t purchase them when the prices were so reasonable? (just like any other classic coin which was available at face value.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
