<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1409366, member: 15929&quot;]The 1974-S MMS-1 on the Silver Proof is bar far more difficult to find than a 1971-D FEV.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean think about it. James Wiles estimated that less than 10,000 of the MMS-1 were minted while the IKE Group Estimates that 550,000 to 750,000 FEV&#039;s were minted.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, finding an FEV in MS66 could be quite challenging since less than 20 have been graded by PCGS and they are highly sought after.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are the odds of finding an FEV in a roll purchased off of eBay? I have no idea but it has been done before. My first positive experience with FEV&#039;s came from Wayne Herndon. I bought 5 1971-D back in 2006 for $3.99 each. 4 Were FEV&#039;s. I ordered 20 mare at $3.99 each and about 18 were FEV&#039;s. Two more rolls yeilded a little bit shy of four rolls of BU FEV&#039;s of which a couple graded MS66.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other end of the stick, I&#039;ve purchased &quot;rolls&quot; (counts of 20) 1974-S Silver Proofs from various online and national dealers at $16.95 per coin and have yet to find an MMS-1.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve purchased sealed shipping boxes of 1974-S Proofs and have yet to find any MMS-1.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your best bet is to arm your self with the information that has been provided and use it at future coin shows. (Watch out for those CnClad Proofs though!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
