<p>[QUOTE="Urban_Lawyer, post: 1475491, member: 36361"]1982 and 1983 coins are tough to find in MS condition because the U.S. Mint did not produce uncirculated sets like they have in most other years. They did make "souvenir" sets that were sold in the mint gift shops at the time, but those are pretty rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>For other years, MS coins can be found in really good shape by just cutting them out of an uncirculated set. For 1982 and 1983, MS coins are (1) found in circulation and somehow - in 30 years - were not abused or (2) were obtained in '82 or '83 and stuck in a coffee can or something and not circulated.
