<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 91076, member: 4552"]Possibly one reason some coins are becoming rare is due to the recent nutty creaze in collecting nickels due to the new types. Other reasons is as alreaday noted that many coins are lost or destroyed therefore low mintage coins become difficult to find. I've seen tons of coins thrown into pools, wells, rivers, lakes, put on rail road tracks, melted down as chemistry experiments, etc. I've done my share of that in the past which fure wouldn't help in finding certain coins. The ones you mentioned are very common pending on where your at and your access to coin shows and stores or places that sell coins. In this area there are at least one coin show a week in the area, many coin type stores and at one flea market there are now 6 coin dealers. This is an amazing increase in the area primarily due to the recent interest in coin collecting. My advice is to keep away from ebay and look up coin shows or on forums like this just ask if anyone will sell you one of them cheaply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
