<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 3144591, member: 68&quot;]Perhaps I should amend my prediction about the eagle reverse quarters still being 7 or 8% of the quarters in ten years.&nbsp; I just got another sample and it is 63.8% later issues!!&nbsp; It&#039;s not just that this percentage is increasing so rapidly but that it&#039;s mostly culls and common dates of the older quarters left.&nbsp; A few years ago about 30% were culls and now it&#039;s up close to 40%.&nbsp; This implies collectors are removing better dates and nicer grades.&nbsp; Throw in the &quot;anecdotal&quot; reports of collectors pulling everything old and it seems we can get down to that 7 or 8% area much sooner than ten years. </p><p><br /></p><p>I kindda hate seeing these coins getting picked over and removed.&nbsp; I had the sandbox to myself for a long time and now I have to share it with everybody.&nbsp; By the same token it&#039;s great to see these coins finally being collected and preserved for future generations. </p><p><br /></p><p>The surviving grade distribution on most of these coins will be very interesting.&nbsp; There won&#039;t be &quot;any&quot; of some like AU &#039;69-P and precious few XF&#039;s.&nbsp; Even VF&#039;s of tougher dates will be elusive.&nbsp; Then there will be issues like the &#039;83-P&nbsp; with millions and millions of AU&#039;s and very few BU&#039;s.&nbsp; This date will be tough only in BU and in low grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>The prices of circs in a few year will surprise people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
