The premium price is on the gold-plated rattle, which is much scarcer...
For a set that was originally selling for $35 the bidding on e-bay is fetching easily in excess of $200 in the last six months. I missed my opportunity to buy it for around $120 a year or so ago.
At least there are a few of the silver ones going around. The gold one is relatively sparsely listed but the price on e-bay has stayed about the same in the last year.
Is there a relationship between scarcity and price. Well for the 2007 baby varieties:
2007 silver rattle - quantity sold 3207 & selling for $200-300 on
ebay2007 gold rattle - quantity sold 1911 & selling for $500-600 on
ebay2007 block - quantity sold 3229 & selling for $ 1000+ on
ebay (hardly available)
Clearly the 2007 baby silver loonie statistics seem to defy the logic that more scarcer the higher the price.
Now I must wait to trade my 2007 wedding for a 2007 block and 2007 silver rattle.

Call me a crazy loon.
