<p>[QUOTE="lightrain, post: 1635124, member: 33057"]I guess I put my first thoughts in here...simply put I think it's supply and demand. I have a 32-d quarter and it's got a mintage of over 400k. I have recently put together a complete type set of Newfoundland silver coins- many with mintages close to 1/10th that of the 32-d, also the Newfoundland coins were HEAVILY circulated there due to a significant shortage of coins at the time, resulting in a lower survivorship. All this being the case, you can still find nice deals on the relatively rare Newfoundland coins because let's face it- they aren't collected as much- supply and demand. That or there is some big conspiracy to keep the US coins at outrageous prices! Another factor is going to be condition rarity, something I'm sure others will expand upon. I think there is some equation that will eventually help you solve the answer- it's just that one of the variables has to do with humans and their hobbies...a definite unknown variable![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
