<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2411077, member: 15588&quot;]I really appreciate the responses so far. It&#039;s absolutely great having access to such an active forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other factor that makes me suspicious about the 1981-S Type 2 SBA is that I - of course speaking only from my own experience - don&#039;t seem to have <i>any</i> trouble finding one. At the last 5-6 shows I&#039;ve attended I&#039;ve seen more than one specimen in a few dealers&#039; display cases. The show I mentioned above, the one where a dealer quoted me $180, was a small show with maybe a dozen dealers or less. At <i>that</i> show I even saw three of them, though I think only 2 of them were PF69DCAM. This gives me the impression that this allegedly rare and expensive coin, at least for a modern clad, is pretty unpopular. Given the price, this doesn&#039;t surprise me. But multiple factors also play in, of course. And of course expensive coins tend to move slower at smaller shows.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will very likely take the plunge on the 1979-S Type 2 and that will probably put intense pressure on my collector&#039;s conscious to also grab the hideous monster of the series. Psychology always plays a role.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
