<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1363069, member: 68&quot;]The SBA set is almost the quintessential modern set.&nbsp; It is short and most of the coins in it are pretty common in unc. It has relatively few varieties though the near date might be a big winner since its population was grossly overestimated early on and it is very tough in high grade.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are two coins that stand out in this set, I believe; the &#039;79-S and &#039;81-S is gem condition.&nbsp; These two are just plain tough. Only about 1% of the mint set only &#039;81-S is Gem.&nbsp; This is hardly rare but consider that this means only about&nbsp; 20,000 coins are still available and bringing them to market would require far higher prices.&nbsp; Also is the simple fact that near-Gems aren&#039;t much more common and even nice chUnc coins for this date aren&#039;t truly common.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It just wouldn&#039;t take many collectors to bump up against the supply limitations.&nbsp; Anyone who has ever tried this set in superb grades will know none of the coins is easy.&nbsp; The easiest is the &#039;81-D but it&#039;s not really common in MS-67.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
