<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 2002356, member: 68"]Rare moderns are no less rare than rare classics. Have you looked at the numbers of coins like '75-no S dimes or 1964 clad quarters? There are lots of moderns that are very scarce or rare and lots that are quite uncommon. Try finding a nice attractive 1969 quarter in BU. There are thousands and thousands in mint sets but most of the mint sets are gone now and the ones that are left still contain the junky coins they did in 1969. There aren't enough nice attractive coins of many dates to supply a mass market and this could be a problem someday if collectors don't want junky coins.</p><p> </p><p>There were fewer 1982 dimes made without a mintmark than there are '16-D dimes but even the ugliest '16-D in pitiful condition will bring more than a choice '82.
