crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 10/08/2006 09:07 am Actually to be a "sleeping giant" you still NEED demand, and that demand MUST increase to awaken that giant! And, regardless of mintages, if no one is much interested in any particular coin or set the value is NOT going anywhere. It will take a new coin release or a concentrated effort by national dealers, magazines and newspapers to open the eyes of collectors in mass and I really know of nothing ready to "break out" at this time. Last prediction I got was the " Franklin half" and, while prices are slowing creeping upward, the demand has remained subtle in this area. Guess we will have to wait and see? Personally I would still say "Collect the classics as you have age, history and value and do it because of the joy it brings you and the thrill of the hunt. If you find enjoyment in your chosen series of coins then demand and scarcity are NOT important. Future prices will take care of themselves. One thing is for certain, when it comes to the classics, they are NOT making them anymore!" Report this Post to the Staff
TSOTL Valued Member United States 439 Posts	Posted 10/08/2006 09:49 am How bout a sleeping midget? I figure when 2009 rolls around and the mint issues the special Lincolns they have planned the flavor of the month bunch will focus on those for a while. Most of them are so cheap you can pick them up for next to nothing, even in B.U., but the keys and semi keys will probably have a larger than usual jump in price about then. About that time the State Quarter program will be running down also and once it's over I'm sure that everyone will want complete sets of them as well. Hucksters will be coming out of the woodwork telling us all how they will never be minted again and how rare a complete set will be as well as how the value is just gonna go sky high now that nobody can get them anymore.
