<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 2440589, member: 68"]Of course, except in the very highest grades all the memorials are "common". But there are several dates that are acrtually quite elusive in just nice attractive condition. Try finding a nice gemmy (MS-64+) 1984 with nice surfaces for instance! I'd be surprised ifd there are a couple thousand in existence but people aren't looking for them. Registry collectors seek high grade coins and overlook the bad surfaces. 1968-P's without carbon spots are quite elusive. This used to be a very common date in Gem and better because of mint sets but now they all have spots. How about the ultra common '74-S sm dt? People don't collect moderns and all the mint set coins are lg dts. </p><p> </p><p>Ya' don't know what you'll see until ya' look and there ain't nobody looking. Prices are low because there is essentially no demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
