Message:: [QUOTE="BadThad, post: 997424, member: 17261"]In the midwest all of the S mints are scarce when roll hunting. the 1973-S (2nd lowest mintage) is very rare to find in any condition. The 1969-S is almost non-existant, it's the 6th lowest cent mintage. BU rolls and coins were widely hoarded so there's plenty of them out there....the dealer is right about that. What he DOESN'T realize is that the vast majority of these coins have not been stored properly.  Also, most of them are MS-63 and below. Toss in attrition and this eliminates most of the 69-S coins as being "collectible". There's fewer high grade examples out there then most people realize, it's a shame the series is so neglected. There's only a few dealers at shows that even bother with them, but they are out there.[/QUOTE]
