<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gboulton, post: 1305462, member: 27043&quot;]I asked an LCS owner this very question about 2-3 years ago.&nbsp; His response was that 1968 marked the return of mint marks, after their absence in 65-67.&nbsp; As a result, he said, a great many people held on to the first &quot;Denver marked&quot; coins in several years...resulting in a great many more higher grade examples remaining.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even at the higher priced MS-67, the 68-D is STILL among the cheapest at that level, a SOLID 10% below even the &#039;67, and well below the later D-mint mark 40% coins.&nbsp; This would lend some credibility to the above explanation, imo.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know how accurate that story is...but it&#039;s the more reasonable one I&#039;ve heard to date.&nbsp; I&#039;d be curious as well to know if anyone has a more &quot;concrete&quot; explanation.</p><p><br /></p><p>====</p><p><br /></p><p>The explanation for the &quot;explosion&quot; in price (and this is just me taking a guess, nothing to back it up) is probably the absence of MS68 and higher examples in that population report.&nbsp; MS67 appears to be the finest PCGS grade available for a majority of the silver/silver clad Kennedy halves.</p><p><br /></p><p>========</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT : Good grief, I almost forgot the most important part...that is a GORGEOUS 68D.&nbsp; I&#039;m truly envious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
