<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pairunoyd, post: 1412518, member: 17595&quot;]ive purchased a mag called Coin Prices. I looked at certain coins, their mintage numbers and their listed worst condition price and their listed best condition price. Here&#039;s an example:</p><p>Morgan Silver Dollars:</p><p><br /></p><p>1885 cc, 228,000 minted, VG8 $550, MS65 $1,100</p><p>1885, 17,787,760 minted, VG8 $30.50, MS65 $199</p><p>mintage 78.02x, VG8 18.03x, MS65 5.53x</p><p><br /></p><p>So in this particular example only 1.28% as many coins were minted 1885cc vs 1885. Even though 78.02x as many 1885&#039;s were minted vs 1885cc&#039;s, the value of the 1885cc&#039;s is only 18x greater in VG8 condition and 5.5x greater in MS65 condition. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ive done several examples, about 10, and all but one seemed to me to point toward condition as being more important. Of course, I realize this is very simplistic and there are many factors that effect price, but it is a factor. I might look at more examples and find the reverse to be true, but I kind of doubt it. Also, the examples I produced were older coins and included mintage numbers that differed greatly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
