Or better condition . Many dealers I know personally  tell me all the time that finding  type coins as such is  getting  harder each year. Most rely on having people come to them at shows who wish to sell off a family  member  collection  whom has passed. As other family  members  have no interest  in collecting. As far as mintage and survival  rates go the numbers to me just don't  prove to be the demand factor.You can have a coin with an extremely  low mintage  or survival rate and still sit on it for years to sell.And even then.....you may not get the value you put into it or the book value.I personally  have discounted buying coins as such. New mint releases or modern limited  editions. I buy what I like and most 99%  of the time to add to my collection  more so then flip.[/QUOTE]
