May not that be that much of investment at the right price until another comes along.
Also, in slight counter point, even if it is not as scarce, demand is king!
This very true - for example *why* is the 1989 proof sovereign so expensive? Yes it has a one-off (and rather nice) design, but the mintage numbers are higher than some of the later proof sovereigns and the price is way more than the other one-off design years (2002, 2005 and now 2012). The reason - demand! People like the coin...

I can explain the demand for the 1989 coin a bit.When collecting sovererigns it falls into many different catergories ie people collect by monarch, by reverse, by obverse etc. So lots more people chasing it
