<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 24201, member: 68&quot;]Since I started collecting in &#039;57 there has been a very large tendency for very recent coins to be overpriced relative to the apparent supply and demand.&nbsp; This doesn&#039;t mean there aren&#039;t any great opportunities in recently dated coins. Just look at the fact that in 1985 you could buy a roll of &#039;83-P quarters for $16 and postage.&nbsp; As tiny as the supply of these was though the demand was very much smaller.&nbsp; $16 was more than fully priced.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect the ause of this phenomenon is that the supply and demand do not meet very well until a coin is at least three years old.&nbsp; The supply will tend to be concentrated in very few hands while the demand is more broadbased.&nbsp; There is also a tendency for most people who wanted one to have gone ahead and gotten it.&nbsp; They&#039;ll hang on to it for a few years before they&#039;re ready to sell.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Roll quality has varied considerably over the years and from one date to another.&nbsp; Some coins were extremely difficult to find even in choice condition when they were issued.&nbsp; Most of those searching mint rolls have reported that quality is the same as bank rolls.&nbsp; This may be changing or may change in the future, however.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
