This, of course, does not necessarily have to mean they were saved as UNCs. While now outdated, taking some time to read through the aforementioned book may help to answer your questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now from personal experience, I've generally never found most dates in this range to be nearly as rare as the mintages may suggest. They're relatively popular because of it, and if priced fairly regardless of condition, generally sell well, but there are other dates that may be less obvious yet offer a better mix of scarcity, value, and potential IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
