<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2654082, member: 68&quot;]I don&#039;t really understand what&#039;s wrong with the price guides but I&#039;ve spoken to some of the publishers.&nbsp; This was back in the &#039;90&#039;s when they just listed every modern quarter for 75c in Gem condition.&nbsp; I believe they are just modern bashers and there&#039;s very little demand for accurate guides because there&#039;s very little trading in modern coins.&nbsp; There are coins that routinely sell for $50 that even the Redbook lists for a few dollars.&nbsp; A $50 classic would list for $125. </p><p><br /></p><p>People have been exceedingly slow, slow in biblical proportions, to accept modern coins.&nbsp; It extends even beyond the hobby since Madison Avenue didn&#039;t use any coins dated after 1964 until the early &#039;90&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a strange situation where an XF or better 1971 nickel is scarcer than the &#039;50-D nickel but is valued at 5c.&nbsp; There&#039;s simply no demand for later coins but this is changing from the bottom up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
