<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 39034, member: 68&quot;]One shouldn&#039;t take the price guides very seriously for any of the moderns.&nbsp; The guides tend to be either too high or too low on almost everything.&nbsp; The 2005 Redbook is the first one to show any of the clads as being much more than face value and the listing for the &#039;86&#039;s is ridiculously low.&nbsp; The &#039;86-D wholesales at more than $5 in MS-60.&nbsp; Wholesalers want pretty nice coins so if you send them a bunch of only junk unc &#039;86-D quarters they won&#039;t be interested but they will pay $210 for nice MS-60&#039;s if they look like an original roll.&nbsp; Generally you should figure all the coins should be MS-61 or better to get this price though.&nbsp; Gems are rarely seen in rolls and perhaps only about 5% of mint set coins can be called gems.&nbsp; This means there simply are no sellers of MS-65 coins at this price.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Recently the set premium for the &#039;86 mint set has been decreasing and is likely to turn negative.&nbsp; Usually this event will result in large numbers of the sets being destroyed for the coins and then the prices of the coins coming down due to increased availability.&nbsp; I&#039;m predicting this won&#039;t be much of a factor in this particular case.&nbsp; The main reason is that there are simply no large hordes of this date.&nbsp; These have been cut up in ones and twos for years and there was a very small mintage to start with so you simply rarely see more than five or ten at a time.&nbsp; Also demand is probably growing nearly as quickly as these can be destroyed.&nbsp; There is likely to be some fall off in price but it should be nominal and spring back quickly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
