<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 444462, member: 5233&quot;]I think you are correct in the sense that hoarding has caused many coins to be common in high grades.&nbsp; A great example is the 1950-D Jefferson Nickel.&nbsp; That coin has the lowest mintage of all Jefferson&#039;s and yet it seems to be more common in MS grades than in circulated grades because it was hoarded in mass quantity when it was new.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, another factor about business strikes in the last 50 years is they have been minted in such a quantity that none of them are rare anyway.&nbsp; So, hoarding has helped but the quantity has been so great in production that many of them haven&#039;t circulated anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as collection non &quot;flavor of the month&quot; coins, I think you are right.&nbsp; One coin I was thinking about a while back was a AGE, I can&#039;t remember what year it was but one of them was minted in a smaller number than the others...it was a 1/2oz or maybe a 1/4oz.&nbsp; I&#039;ll have to look it up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
