<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 144403, member: 112&quot;]Because the listing you are quoting is from a price guide that does not provide accurate information. </p><p><br /></p><p>This has been explained many times before in other threads, but the long and short of it is as follows. Since collectors tend to find the higher grade examples of business strikes in mint sets and in &#039;82 &amp; &#039;83 there were no mint sets issued, collectors have little choice but to search for high grade examples from circulation. And as it happens, most of the business strike quarters for these 2 years were of poor quality. As a result, higher grade examples such as EF and up do sell for a premium when compared to other dates of the time period. Simply put these higher grade examples are hard to find. But only the higher grade examples. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, since the price guides are in the business of promoting the hobby, they list the lower grade examples as being worth a premium as well. This false info leads those who are less experienced and don&#039;t know what I just explained above to pay more for coins than they are actually worth. </p><p><br /></p><p>Want to find out for yourself ? Take a roll or two of of these coins in VF or worse into a dealers shop and ask he what will pay you for them. I&#039;ll bet he won&#039;t buy them at all. Unless of course you offer them for less than face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
