I've chased the low mintage commemoratives for years. The problem is, mintages just keep getting lower. The cost to chase the seems to exceed the premium of whichever is lowest at a given time.
This phenomenon has been ongoing for at least 20 years. Lower mintages in Unc until the next unattractive issue comes along which destroys all of the previous issues' premiums.
i'm homing in on something. what's needed in this race to the bottom is a quiet coin -- like the 21 gold liberty --in commemorative coin. i think that one may survive the race
A well-designed "quiet coin" having even a somewhat a relevant subject matter won't stay quiet for long, and the mintage would dwarf recent sales levels in no time.

FWIW. The OP said UNC, not proof.
The Uncs are always the lower mintage option.

I knew it would happen.
