<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3173885, member: 78244&quot;]I don’t count varieties and errors when I refer to a modern issue. I was referring to entire issues (such as ALL 1971 D Quarters), as that is what is collected in registry sets. Plus how many of these are sitting around unattributed? Probably many.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is like saying there are many bust half issues are unknown in UNC, even though every year has many known uncirculated examples. How many 1829 half dollars are there in UNC condition? Lots. How many O-120 1829 halves are out there known in UNC condition? Zero. How many are out there waiting to be discovered? Who knows. Classics are the same in this regard. Name a rare variety and you are bound to find several unknown in UNC grades. Both were made for circulation, so there is nothing inherently special about the examples you gave.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That still does not change my point. Plus I do not see how your logic correlates to countering my point. It is completely non-sequitur. Yes they are newer and different, but they are used for circulation just the same. And coins get lost when they are just used for circulation, less so as they get older and replaced.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes. That is how it has been for decades.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Because the Red Book is not a reliable price guide.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Because the price guides are outdated or a price was assigned before the rarity was truly understood. The Cherrypicker’s guide is full of examples of such.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
