    Some call it an accumulation not a collection

    This has been going on since 2000. It showed up in the price of
    the basal values for Barbers, indians, buffalos and earlier cu/ ni
    5c's first. It's been expanding for some time now and does even
    include things like Franklins. Something like a nice VF '49-S 50c is
    hardly scarce but there are enough people looking for one that
    they are not as easy to keep in stock as they once were. This tran-
    slates to wholesale demand and the price goes up.

    That article is just logical. Our population just hit 300,000,000 in the USA. As the population grows, so does the amount of coin collectors. What is worse though is the fact that with an increase in our population, so goes the distruction of coins. Laying on RR tracks, chem experiments, thrown in lakes, rivers, oceans, wells, dropped in sewers and so many other methods. Less and less coins and more and more people make thier value go up. Just think with only 484,000 of the 1909S VDB Lincoln Cents minted and if there were say 50,000,000 coin collectors, you could see what is happening with prices.

    2000 WIDE AM Lincoln cent - paid ten dollars for in mint state four years ago. Right now it's got one bid for a penny on ebay. Maybe I should rub it a little and image... give it that "circulated" look.
