<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GSDykes, post: 2176869, member: 73321&quot;]Good point. Indeed in looking over the thousands of coins available, many have little demand. And, the demand shifts, kind of like a fad, or what&#039;s &quot;hot&quot; at a certain moment. I have some coins (not Franklin mint) circulation coins, which were minted in the LOW thousands, and little demand exists for them at the moment. But should they become popular, the prices will skyrocket -, to the moon.&nbsp; I own them because I like the image of the guy on his tractor!! Even if only several hundred collectors want them amongst the millions of collectors worldwide!! Many collectors worldwide, are just NOW coming on-line, their presence is a new thing, and will impact the supply/demand aspects. many are just now acquiring computers and on-line access. Patience. Canadian dollars, especially if SILVER, are stagnant. Their value is usually tied to silver&#039;s value, regardless of mintage numbers (exceptions exist). To me, and this is a personal opinion -- the true essence of coin collecting, is NOT precious metal content, but rather (1) if I like the coin!! (2) it&#039;s historical implications (3) is it big and shiney (4) unusual alloy composition (5) eye appeal (6) rarity (7) precious metal content, and finally (8) unusual engineering aspects. As with stocks, you may want to diversify, but if you do specialize, and proifit is your motive, then you and I are on different wavelengths, which is ok.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
