Well, since I posted the reply on the eBay boards, I'll stay away from this one.

Hi, Ben.

 

How about a MS-68 1941- Lincoln cent. Since there is only one of them, I think it qualifies as rare.

 

I guess that would qualitfy but I'm thinking modern post 1980.

Thanks you gave a good answer - had to re-think that one cause basically you were right!
Ben

 

You have to give all the specifics first.

 

After 1980, a 2001-D Jefferson Nickel MS-68FS. Again, there is only 1.

 

well, 1 that someone had graded

 

OK! Point taken, but how do you count the others?

 

The OP is referring to average uncirculated pieces of a given date/mintmark. The mintage happens to be high, but obtaining uncirculated pieces is tough.

He is not referring to single, ultra-high-graded pieces.

 

lol, no idea!

 

2003 PCGS MS70RED Lincoln Cent ???

 

Nothing I am aware of, excluding varieties, D/D's, etc., is rare as a general date. There are conditional rarities, however.

 

It is a conditional rarity. I said "average uncirculated."

 

is it from 82 or 83

 

TheNoost: You've got it happening! Now...what's your final answer?

 

The 82 and 83 quarters are kinda pricey in uncirculated condition. I know because I bought them last year, as well as the 82 and 83 dimes. I think it is the 83P quarter which makes you gasp when you pay.

 

I'm not sure I would call anything post 1980 "rare".

 

Rohumpy: You got it.

Well, I agree, but it is a conditional rarity. Greysheet bid for a roll of uncirculated 1983-P quarters is $725.

That's not the rarest thing around, but it's very surprising for a coin with a mintage of nearly 700 million!

 

The Noost is on the right page!

Keep working!
