<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 442420, member: 68&quot;]There was a day that you could go to any large coin show and five half a dozen gem &#039;09-S VDB&#039;s but not a single gem &#039;72-D with a nice strike.&nbsp; The former would cost hundreds and the latter would have been a dime if anyone had one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Things haven&#039;t really changed that much.&nbsp; The services are grading the later date coins now and they don&#039;t demand full strikes so you might find a high grade &#039;72-D but they won&#039;t be as numerous as the &#039;09-S VDB.&nbsp; (and it&#039;ll run you $30 now)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The point a lot of people are missing is that it&#039;s very unnatural for there to be so little demand for later dates.&nbsp; Historically there&#039;s usually more demand for modern coins but the prices are low because more were saved, mintages were higher, and time had caused less attrition.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Today in most cases fewer were saved and there just isn&#039;t any demand.&nbsp; This exists because old timers don&#039;t believe there&#039;s any reason to collect later date coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
