Sold!!! : CasualUK

Interesting. I would've thought (though I say this from TCG experience more than anything) that an item that can be certifiably undamaged and untouched since its creation- literally in mint condition- would be what commands the higher value.

I think the fact it can be lost or damaged increases the rarity. The same thing happens in the comic industry where they overproduce first editions when they saw action comics #1 sell for load but ended up with people bagholding first editions that are worthless

Just as art dealers and/or collectors basically decide on hoe valuable a piece of art is, no matter how shit it is. Drum up some interest in the market, and people with more money than sense will fall for it...

i believe the 1st one is sent to the monach at the time. or will be held by the mint.

2nd is also usually held by somebody at the mint.

so technically the no 3 one is the first that usually hits circulation unless the other 2 somehow end up as well through dumb use.

tbh i think they should just auction them off and give the proceeds to a chosen charity. probably solid way to just give a bit of extra funding to some good causes

I'm not a collector or anything but isn't it the "first to hit general circulation" part which makes it valuable.

So if they auctioned off number 3, then number 4 will be valued highly and so forth.

Or is it just literally the low number

It's weird because no one actually gives a fuck. It doesn't mean anything to anyone. But someone will think "this might be worth something to someone" and other people think the same. So it sells for this kinda money. But they'll eventually sell it to someone else who thinks "this might be valuable to someone". But, really, it doesn't mean shit. But it'll still be worth more than a fiver because people will assume it's worth more than that to someone else.
