<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2002362, member: 68&quot;]A lot of moderns made for circulation are scarce even in chBU. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This sounds incredible but it&#039;s true.&nbsp; If you define chBU as a well made coin from good dies that is still relatively mark free (MS-63+ and better) some coins like a &#039;76-P type I or a &#039;69 quarter are highly elusive.&nbsp; Sure, you can find one but only because someone tried to make a high grade and missed.&nbsp; You&#039;ll find one only because nobody is collecting these coins.&nbsp; If they were collecting them then there would be none on the market because there are so few in existence. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Don&#039;t get me wrong.&nbsp; I&#039;m hardly saying a nice chBU &#039;73 nickel is a scarcity that should sell for hundreds of dollars.&nbsp; I&#039;m merely saying that coins like this are scarcer than the &#039;50-D nickel and it got up to over $200 in today&#039;s money at one time.&nbsp; There are lots of &#039;73 nickels in pocket change and no &#039;50-D nickels but there are no &#039;73&#039;s over VF either and none in collections.&nbsp; You can find rolls of the &#039;73 and a few are chBU but you can find them only because there is no demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
