<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rlm&#039;s cents, post: 421856, member: 7957&quot;]Your are sort of right, clinker.&nbsp; Actually, the 31-S was saved by the bag.</p><p><br /></p><p>There were 2 collectors in the Pittsburgh, Pa. area who heard that there were very few cents minted in SF. They wrote around to all of the Fed. Res. banks and finally located 2 bags at the Seattle bank and bought both. 2 bags may not sound like much today, but that is over 1% of the total production. I met one of them ~1970 (sorry, don&#039;t remember the name). He told me that they sold a few rolls early on at $1.00 per roll. By the mid 40&#039;s, they were getting $1.00 per coin when they needed some cash. I do not have the proof, but my assumption is that is the main reason that the 31-S unc is comparably cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
