Why are rare coins valuable?

I have a very interesting friend. He's top notch. But, he asked me this question and I had to think about it a while.

"Why are rare coins valuable? Because they are rare. The answer is in the question."

Okay, he's a friend. He has his value set. If I disturb that with a better answer, am I being a friend?

If he's reading this, No. If I had another answer, sharing it would have been wrong.

So here's the counter question.

"Why is one teddy bear priceless to one child and just a toy to the rest of the world?"

And there would be the harmful answer. Anyone know that answer?
