<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1978731, member: 68&quot;]I think of the price jump as the &quot;tyranny of numbers&quot;.&nbsp; Many times these mintages are simply astronomical but no one saved any.&nbsp; This means there are almost no Uncs at all but if you look through the millions in circulation it&#039;s not too hard to find AU&#039;s and XF&#039;s. Of course another reason is collectors tend to prefer moderns in Unc. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If demand ever picks up we&#039;ll probably discover some of these coins are tough even in lower grades and some of the South and Central American coins are tough in any grade.&nbsp; But for now most collectors are competing for the Uncs if they have any competition at all. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The biggest jumps might be Japan 10Y and Italy 100L where the XF goes for pennies and the Unc goes for up to $100.&nbsp; This is Krause pricing which needs to be taken with a shovelfull of salt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
