<p>[QUOTE="quarter-back, post: 1979409, member: 47022"]I would like to respectfully disagree. You are focusing on the demand side not on the supply side which is where the question started. As an example, MS65 1958 Washington quarters are selling for $5-15 dollars on eBay. Based on your logic, this should suggest a strong supply. This is a personal example, but let me point out how misleading this can be. I put together a complete set of 1932-1964 Washington quarters with the goal of getting the entire set from junk silver sources. A secondary goal was to get the set in as high a grade as possible for each coin. I was able to complete the set in about two years (and that includes the 32D and 32S coins), but the 1958 in mint state was one of the hardest coins to get. I had mint state coins for everything 44 to 64 except for the two 58 coins and the 59P. It took me nearly a year to get a good 59P, a year and a half to get a 58D and nearly two and half years to get a mint state 58P. The price suggests a ready supply but the reality suggest otherwise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
