I don't think you will find a better case study than the Saddle Ridge hoard. Do some research on auction prices before the discovery, during the announcement, and after the sale. It's just one small slice of numismatics of course, but I think that is what you are looking for. Several very expensive pieces lost their status as "finest known" as a result of that hoard.

Numismatic rarities are luxury items, and there are too many factors to consider to give a blanket statement. I could show you half a dozen R3-R5 (less than 100 to unique) ancients that I picked up for peanuts because the market is nonexistent.
Rest in Peace

I have a goodly number of R-10, unique only known - with followed pedigrees - in a small exonumic field.

They would mostly sell in the $400-600 price range. If 10 were suddenly discovered of a single type, the value might drop $100 because there are still more than 10 buyers. It would usually take about 7-10 years for the price to recover to the full previous $400-600.

Although supply and demand does affect prices, in addition to many other factors, the buyer's ability to purchase is at least as important.

In other words, if 10 1804 Draped Bust Dollars suddenly became available, and the prices dropped to $500,000 each, that price would still prohibit the vast majority of collectors from making such a purchase.

Yes, the immediate price would drop, but there are more than 10 buyers who would love such a purchase at half a mil. So what the item is, is greatly influenced by the dollar value, too.

As has already been stated, a $200 value as compared to a $2000 coin would greatly reduce potential buyers.

Specific coins, as has been asked for, is still needed to even give you a general rule.

Essentially, what you are asking is how much is a car worth and how much will the price change with an influx of more of the same car. We don't know the make, model, year, mileage, or condition of the cars you have in mind.

Even general rules are pretty tough without basic specifics.
