[QUOTE="cladking, post: 66030, member: 68"]This gives you an idea of how small many of these markets really are. While all P and D '87 halfs went into the mint sets (and souvenir) mint sets, there are simply more of these than there are collectors. Even the 1986 halfs are worth more because few rolls of coins were set aside in those days and the mint set mintage was lower. The clad mint sets are about the only supply there is for many of the modern coins. There were rolls and bags of the '60 to '64 issues so even though the mintages of the sets were lower, there are other sources for the coins in them. It should also be remembered that prior to 1965 there was little difference between a mint set coin and one from a roll. The later sets contain the lions' share of most gems and virtually the entire production of some.[/QUOTE]
