Dave’s collectible coins is no different to most other marketplaces – it’s all about supply and demand. If there’s lots of one particular coin available, then chances are it’s not going to be worth much. But if there are only a few good specimens of that type, then its value will be high.
Which is why you great strange anomalies in coin collecting, such as 2,000-year-old Roman coin that’s worth under $100, whereas a 1943 copper penny is worth over $200,000. Many thousands of the Roman coins were minted and have since been found, but there were only 40 copper pennies made in 1943, thanks to the war.
It can happen, too, that different Dave’s collectible coins may have similar numbers in circulation, but one will be worth a lot more than the other. That’s because some coins have more appeal for collectors, which drives up their value. Some coins are popular simply because they’re really well designed and nice to look at, others because they form part of a popular set, and others simply because they have some historical significance.
