<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 294590, member: 68&quot;]They are all quite common.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>People knew there would be no mint sets in &#039;82/ &#039;83 so more of these were set aside than most dates.&nbsp; But there weren&#039;t nearly as many set aside as would have been in most years with mint sets.&nbsp; This means hundreds of thousands of these exist in unc and all six coins are nearly as common as the &#039;50-D.&nbsp; The &#039;84-P was simply overlooked.&nbsp; In the modern age there are plenty enough coins made each year that everyone can set aside as many coins as they desire but very few people have ever paid much attention to current coins since 1965.&nbsp; Everyone thought everyone else was setting aside the &#039;84-P and no one saved them.&nbsp; This was exascerbated by the fact that quality was very poor and discouraged many would-be hoarders.&nbsp; The Denver was set aside in only a little higher numbers but it&#039;s sufficient to hold down the price.&nbsp; If not for mint sets the Philly would be a much tougher coin but with these sets it is nearly as common as the &#039;50-D in unc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The &#039;82-P is probably about comparable to the &#039;39-D in grades over a nice XF.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps the most interesting aspect of these dates is that the &#039;82 issues are said to appear in seven different varieties.&nbsp; While all are apparently &quot;common&quot; if you try to find some of these you&#039;ll be left pulling your hain out.&nbsp; There may be fewer than a couple hundred of some surviving in unc despite the large mintages.&nbsp; Since they can be difficult to tell apart unless they are well made and well preserved there will never be large numbers turning up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
