A large, influx of your favorite coin.

If a large cache of your favorite coin came to light, say a 100 PR-69DCAM AH Kennedys or a 25 1802 half dimes, or five 1870-S half dimes came to market, would you be happier or sadder? You choose the coin, but a significant number of them come to market, in the grade you like to collect.

Me, I am very happy about some large "hoards" in the market place, for example 1938-D Buffalo nickels, or 1818-1820 large cents, etc. That means they are cheaper for me and I can get them in a higher grade than I would normally be able to afford. I would be very happy if they found a fresh mint bag of 1877 indian cents, or a new cast of chain cents.

    I guess that depends if I already own the coin or not.

    For instance, I'd be doing cartwheels if someone found 10 thousand real, authentic, genuine 1792 half dismes (i know its impossible). Cause then I could finally buy one.

    But if somehow it turned out that the mint actually made 360 MILLION 1928 Peace Dollars instead of 360 THOUSAND, and all the extras were in Mint State shape, I'd be PISSED.

    Happier because I might be able to afford them. And if I already had an example, I'd buy more. They are my favorites, after all. image

    If i wanted to buy I'd be happy, sell I'd be sad.

    My favorite, or well pick for the most underrated, Lincoln Cent was 18-d. I went nearly two years without seeing a single pcgs 64rd for sale. I then bought the first two I saw. I swear in the last month or two there has been about 10 of them for sale. It's sort of annoying for it makes it harder to sell my duplicate one (actually I did manage to sell my duplicate pcgs one, have another pcgs and an ngc 64rd I'm going to try to cross).
