Strange 1909 VDB Cent Trend?

Nice cent Sleaklight! I jumped on the bandwagon today too! I grabbed two of them before HSN or QVC got them!

getting them before they go any higher. For some reason this will be the 1909 version of the poor man's double die of 1955 so best load up before they get advertised of the change in design and celebration of lincoln.

I understand that lincoln key's will increase its value in the coming years. But why are we rushing to buy the 1909 VDB?

It's the 100 year mark for the Victor D Brenner design, which itself has historical significance. It's the first coin to depict an actual person and it's the longest running design, ever.

If coin collecting is anything like the stock market then when the 2009's are released the prices will actually drop. It is the old saying "buy on rumor sell on news" which the market does generally follow.

Stocks and coins have little to nothing in common. I too dapple in the stock market. Stocks go up, down and some vanish. They are dependant on a massive variety of differences in buisness, trends, the economy, etc.
Coins, as far as I can remember have done nothing but either stayed level or gone up. The only difference is the economy as to coin prices not increasing. There are only so many coins of each type and that is that unlike stocks that appear and vanish, go up, down, all over the place.
As to the coming of the 2009 Lincoln, I doubt that the prices of any coins will deminish during or after their issuance.
Coin show this Sunday and I think I'll buy as many as I can afford just in case.
Of course this is just my opinion and I always wanted to invest in buggy whip companies when the price of gas got out of hand.
