<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4761370, member: 26302&quot;]An old time dealer named Ben Marlenee was a dealer in the 1940&#039;s. I asked him this question once. He said it was almost from day 1 that the 32 D was acknowledged as the scarcer coin. He said the first time he own both dates in BU he had 4 offers on the 32 D and the 32 S just sat in his case. He said even from BU rolls the 32 D came crummy, while the 32 S was nice out of the roll. Therefore, everyone was always chasing a nice looking 32 D from the start.</p><p><br /></p><p>In Des Moines at the time 32 D&#039;s were actually more common in circulated grades, but BU the D was always king.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: I bet you that having a recent history of &quot;scarce&quot; coins from SF like the 31 S cent also had the effect of more BU rolls of them being put aside then Denver issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
