Message:: [QUOTE="World Colonial, post: 2451457, member: 78153"]Any idea how long this lasted and whether your experience was representative? I ask because I don't recall any noticeable premium for these coins in the Red Book either. There are in the  vicinity of two dozen coins from the most widely collected 20th century series which I recall as "keys" which to my knowledge retain that status, but that is all.  A few others like the 49-S half might have been considered one in the past as my recollection is the coin used to cost a lot more but I don't think  of it as one now. Oh and back to the topic of this the 49-S dime's price, the hardest thing to believe is that it sold for $75 in MS-65 or even MS-66.  Dumping a large number all at once explains the recent price decline but logically given how many are in the population reports even now, I think it will ultimately sell for less than the grading fee. After I wrote my first post, I also checked the NGC counts.  There are almost 1000 in 66 and over 1000 in 67.  Even assuming an NGC 67 is PCGS 66, still currently over 2000 "real" 66's since duplicates must be a low percentage.  Considering the price and prior roll hoarding, potentially (likely in my opinion) well over 10,000 (If not a multiple) actually available.[/QUOTE]
