<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 374079, member: 68"]It doesn't matter how many coins were made any longer. Really it never was the most important thing since small mintages could be saved enmass like the 1883 NC nickel and large mintages could be all destroyed in circulation or lost in storage like the '04-O dollar. But this is much more true in the days of large mintages. Some coins are saved in the tens of millions like the '76 quarters and other coins with huge mintages were simply overlooked. Many of the varieties now days don't even exist in unc because no one saved any!!! Try latching onto a few rolls of nice '86-P or '92-D cents if you think coins made by the billion are so easy. Try finding a nice original roll of '69 quarters. </p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of the moderns are pretty scarce in unc and when the coins in circulation are melted in a few years they might be tough in any grade. Many of the mmoderns are far scarcer in nice condition than even the old key dates but people aren't paying attention so you can pick them up cheap... ...if you can find them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
