<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 8355010, member: 68&quot;]There is no wholesale market for most of these coins because there is simply no demand.&nbsp;&nbsp; If current trends continue the &#039;69 quarter will be scarcer than the &#039;32-D in as soon as 20 years because the the coins aren&#039;t being put back or saved from corrosion that exists in the mint sets.&nbsp; The coins in circulation now suffer a nearly 5% annual attrition as bent, damaged, and heavily worn coins are removed from circulation by the FED.&nbsp; There will be no nice (G or better) &#039;69 quarters in circulation in less than 10 years. </p><p><br /></p><p>Eventually people will want these coins and attrition will drop to far lower levels but in my opinion it&#039;s already too late because there are not enough nice examples in F or better for a mass market.&nbsp;&nbsp; The few around would disappear overnight with any real demand. </p><p><br /></p><p>It just breaks my heart to see the mint sets like this.&nbsp; Not only because of all the coins I&#039;ve lost but because they will not be available to future collectors. </p><p><br /></p><p>it also distorts the current market making it difficult to know if demand picks up or not because good sets are so hard to find (virtually impossible really).&nbsp; i saved up 20 of the greatest &#039;69 mint sets you can imagine and had to cut them all up in the last twenty years.&nbsp; Many of the Gems were lost to the corrosion. </p><p><br /></p><p>of course I can be wrong about this set and a cleaning and better pictures might well prove it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
