<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 989132, member: 21782&quot;]I’ll post an edited response from the other thread Doug mentioned too. I like Doug&#039;s analysis, with a few caveats.&nbsp; Although there are only a few high grade 1907 IHC’s certified, many more probably existed and back then people didn&#039;t care or did know how to preserve them, which does matter because now you have grade rarity.&nbsp; As for modern high grade business strikes, same thing, there are probably many more out there than certified and many of these high grades will be sitting in rolls and bags, waiting to be discovered, as today most collectors don’t care about them and many collect bags and rolls - yet, still the surviving population of modern high grade business strikes could be low.&nbsp; The big questions are, how many other than registry set collectors care, since they lack the underlying mintage rarity and how long will it take for the average collector to care about a high mintage high grade coin, a 100 years or more or until they can&#039;t find one themselves from available bags and rolls?&nbsp; Now, this isn&#039;t meant to offend anyone, only to make light of the issue, but a dealer once told me, when discussing modern business strikes, &quot;There are a lot of dog turds out there too and I&#039;ve only ever seen one green one, but I&#039;m not willing to pay you anything for it&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
