<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 269065, member: 307&quot;]Mostly IMHO because people of the time were able to obtain the coin very easily and with the roll collecting craze of the late 50s (I think?) managed to stash these babies away in numbers. Key dates are not always the lowest mintage. The 1950-D Jefferson Nickel is another example of this type of phenomenon. It is the lowest mintage in the series, yet widely hoarded in MS. To this day many other dates of Jefferson sell for more than the 1950-D in a like condition. The 1949-S Roosevelt has never been easily obtainable in Mint State and many of the better grade examples were only available from Mint Sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
