<p>[QUOTE="Bonedigger, post: 88973, member: 4367"]Here is a thought which has made me do a double take on numerous occasions. Why's there such a price disparity between populations of coins of the same series. Look at the 1926-S and 1931-D Mercury Dimes. There were 1,520,000 minted in 1926 and only 1,260,000 minted in 1931, only 30,000 more than the lauded 1921!!! I know about the surviving number thing but also have noticed the price of the 31-D has gone up in all grades over the past year. I think the 1931-D is a great buy in VF and acquiring a couple at this time may turn out to be a good investment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another coin which this applies to the the 1927 Peace dollar which had a total mintage of less than a million at 848,000, the second lowest of the series.
