<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1321122, member: 15929&quot;]Prices can be all over the place with high grade examples (MS65-MS67) bringing the big premiums. AU coins, IMO, are probably in the melt to $15range depending upon date at this particular point in time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personnally, I&#039;m of the opinion that specific date scarcities closely follow the current PCGS Populations.</p><p><br /></p><p>1956</p><p>1961</p><p>1962</p><p>1964</p><p>1957</p><p>1960</p><p>1958</p><p>1963</p><p>1959</p><p><br /></p><p>Note that 1963 is second from the bottom as it has a total population of 271 coins (for PCGS) across all grades. It rarely shows up on eBay and other venues simply because it usually does not get a premium due to its apparent commonality.</p><p><br /></p><p>1959 is at the bottom of my list simply because half the mint sets produced in 1959 had a Type B in them or at least an examination of 1959 US Mint Sets makes it appear that way. </p><p><br /></p><p>It should be important to note that since these became a popular variety to search for, populations literally exploded along with prices. However, as the field of collectors that actually purchased these has become satisfied with their current holdings, only the high grade examples which might represent an &quot;upgrade, attract premium level interest. The rest usually fall to new collectors that pay better than average price for a similar Washington of equivalent grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>It should also be noted that the &quot;proof reverse&quot; was not specifically limited to 1956-1964 coins since proof reverses also appear on 1969-D Clad, 1970-D Clad, 1971-D Clad and 1972-D Clad Washingtons. This particular proof reverse is slightly different than the Type B (RDV-002) and is actually RDV-008 (Type H). These coins, due to attrition in the clad series, can be EXTREMELY difficult to find and in lower circulated grades can command hundred dollar premiums.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
