Even collectors were that way with them. They would look at the date and mint and unless the coin was a scarcity they wouldn't even bother to save it - even if it was MS. Of course MS didn't really exist back then, at least not to most people. A coin was either unc or it wasn't. It wasn't until 1977 that MS grades even existed.
