<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1972399, member: 68&quot;]Silver dollars were getting kind of pricey at $2 each by 1971. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thank goodness they didn&#039;t use real silver or these would be damaged and worn like most of the other Ikes.&nbsp; And the silver dollars wouldn&#039;t be worth nearly as much.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A lot of people just don&#039;t realize how scarce some moderns are or how scarce they can be in nice condition. I&#039;ve seen nice gemmy rolls of 1983-P quarters just tossed in the cash register because the dealer was too busy to look at the Greysheet.&nbsp; Up until the mid-&#039;90&#039;s most dealers just paid face for anything after 1965 and put it in the register.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t destroy many coins this way but only because these coins were never saved in the first place so dealers didn&#039;t buy many.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Moderns are priced so low because so few people collect them. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s great to see a happy ending.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
