<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave92029, post: 1720361, member: 26916&quot;]When you buy an ASE with a Mint mark Proof or Uncirculated) you are paying a premium for a Numismatic coin. An ASE with a mint mark is no longer *bullion* and should be bought and sold at an extra premium in the market place. The bullion ASE may have a mintage of over 40 million this year vs approximately 250K of the reverse PF.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If the previous dealer is not *able* to sell ASE with a mint mark and grades PF69/70 at a premium then those coins should be sold in a different marketplace. </p><p><br /></p><p>The premium associated with PF70 vs PF69&nbsp; is roughly based on the populations of each coin. NGC members are able to see how many of each coin has received what grade.&nbsp; The *value* of each year and each grade is dependant on the supply and demand, the populations of each coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is a very large group who are collecting graded ASE, so when a set of ASE is limited to only 100,000, the demand causes the price to spike. Coins with very low mintage are considered &quot;Key&quot; dates, because of the limited supply that *ALL Collectors Must Have* to complete their sets. Thats why the 1995W is so expensive...very few sold by the mint and even fewer graded PF69/70.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
