<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2425893, member: 68&quot;]There&#039;s no &quot;proper price&quot; for any coin.&nbsp; A unique &#039;76 Ike proof minted in Philly exists as well and would bring a good price but who knows how much that is.&nbsp; A 1933 Saint is worth a lot of money because there are many very well heeled collectors who want to own the coin.&nbsp; But how many people want to own the Ike and how high are they willing and able to bid?&nbsp; I&#039;d like it at any price but certainly can&#039;t afford it at any price. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If there were as many collectors for moderns as there are for classics then, yes, moderns would often be worth more than the highest priced classics.&nbsp; But moderns attract more newbies and more middle class collectors.&nbsp; They attract more children and young adults so prices are lower.&nbsp; Many of the &#039;65 to date Jeffersons are much scarcer than the &#039;50-D nickel but the more modern coins go for only a tiny fraction of the &#039;50-D.&nbsp; This is not natural but is caused largely by decades of the hobby&#039;s failure to attract newbies and by modern bashing including the suppression of markets by hobby organizations and publishers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
