Message:: [QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 695009, member: 5233"]I think that he is right just because of thew quantity being hoarded.  It has happened in the past.  Look at the 1883 No Cents Liberty Head Nickel.  They are very common in high grades because they were hoarded when they first came out.  People thought the discontinuing of the "No Cents" was going to make them valuable so a ton were were saved.  As a result, the "Cents" version wasn't saved and it is worth a substantial premium in MS grades despite a mintage 3x that of the "No Cents."  Another example is the 1950-D Jefferson Nickel.  It was known at the time to be a low mint issue so people saved them.  Today, they are more common in MS than lower grades.  The Barr $1 note is another example of the same thing. When I look at these dollars, it reminds me of the Bicentennial Quarters.  Those things were hoarded like mad and minted in the 100 millions.  Today even MS examples are barely worth more than fave value.  I think the same fate is in store for the Presidential series.[/QUOTE]
