<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 3024982, member: 68&quot;]You&#039;re not going to find an MS-67 &#039;83-D in circulation but this is chiefly because this coin is rare rather than there are no uncs in circulation.&nbsp; You actually can find a few &#039;82 and &#039;83 Uncs in circulation!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Numismatic News ran a series of articles about how tough these were in April/ May 1985 and lots of coins were pulled from circulation.&nbsp; Most are AU or sliders but a few were true Uncs.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s not too unusual for these to find their way back into circulation.&nbsp; Just last November I found a 1982-D that is very gemmy.&nbsp; It could go MS-65 pretty easily if the slight friction on the high points is forgiven.&nbsp; There&#039;s no rub and the luster is intact but the high points have a little friction. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course the &#039;82-D is far more common in Gem than the &#039;83-D.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Until just seven&nbsp; years ago or so I&#039;d find an Unc &#039;82 or &#039;83 in circulation every year or two.&nbsp; Now I rarely see more than a couple AU&#039;s.&nbsp; I go through a couple hundred rolls a year or less.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I save nice well made coins above XF now days.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t bother much with the ones that are poorly made from worn dies.&nbsp; Nice attractive coins of these dates are tough in any grade and this goes double for the &#039;82-P.&nbsp;&nbsp; The &#039;83-P is hard to find without scratches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
