[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1818568, member: 36230"]Ridiculous. The thing is that these are painfully common as a [I]type[/I] and have never been that popular; if I remember correctly, they were released for six years and have 18 different date/mint combos, and represent a fine example of how mintage or estimated survival can have little effect on value. Over the years, most collectors that I've dealt with that were interested in such coins have shown little desire to own more than a solitary example, and is not a unique experience. This is not to say they are not fine coins, but the demand for average MS examples does not come close to the supply, which means values are kept comparatively low. Green's value estimate in post #28 is reasonable, but even then they are not always the easiest of sales. Fair enough... :)[/QUOTE]
