<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 988318, member: 307&quot;]I have been trying to make this point for years. People ignore the clad business strike coins and as such high grade pristine examples can be difficult to find. Beginning somewhere near the turn of this century, the US Mint started selling circulation strike rolls of coins like nickels and halves, Sac dollars, etc. IHMO anything after this time exists in pristine rolls by the truckload and much like the current satin finish coins will never garner much of a premium due to their availability.</p><p><br /></p><p>The clad prior however present a very nice niche for people to put together collections for very little money. These coins are available and collectible! And ignored as they are, their number in high grade dwindles every day. There are a relatively small (and shrinking) number of Mint Sets. Few people saved these coins by the roll or bag. No one saved them for metal content. Most of them have merely done their job and circulated. If you&#039;d like some indicator of this being true look at the 1982 and 1983 quarter dollars. They command quite a premium due to the lack of Mint Sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
