<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3107, member: 112&quot;]In regard to the Proof examples - I would agree with you. Quantities of the coins in PF69 DCAM abound. And the current selling prices for these coins reflects this. And not only with SQ&#039;s - but nearly all moderns. Prices have dropped substantially from what they were 2 or even 1 yr ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>However - with the MS examples this is not the case. Large numbers of high grade examples for any of the circulation type coins simply do not exist. Sure you can find MS66 examples all day long - and their selling price reflects this. But MS67 examples are not so easy to find. And if you move to MS68 or higher - while you may find a few you certainly won&#039;t find very many. They just aren&#039;t there. And that is why the prices for these coins is so high.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you can choose not to believe this if you wish. And you&#039;ll be little different than most other collectors have always been. For it is always thought by collectors that the coins of the present time will never be valuable - there are just scads of them out there to be had for face value. And for lower grade examples this is plainly true. But for high grade examples - it is not. It never has been - it never will be. And yet the majority of collectors will go on passing by high grade examples of current coinage. All but a few that is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
