<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 2432414, member: 56370&quot;]The 1796 quarter is a not only a one year type, but the first issue of that denomination, with a total surviving population estimated in the 600 range.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see how that is overpriced, especially when compared with high priced Morgan&#039;s or more recent key dates.&nbsp; It is my understanding that federal coinage during that period was uncommon, and the 2 real pieces you mentioned were most commonly seen in circulation.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure some dates are rare but so is my R5 Connecticut colonial that I paid 100 bucks for.&nbsp; It has less than 100 pieces in existence but perhaps there are even fewer collectors who are striving to own all the varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for worldwide demand among new middle classes, you are probably correct in regards to many developing countries.&nbsp; The one major exception, with which i have a lot of personal experience, is Russia.&nbsp; The country is filled with educated people who previously did not have the means to collect rare coins, whereas now many of them do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
