[QUOTE="cladking, post: 815929, member: 68"]Yes!!!! And this is why many moderns have increased hundreds fold; they are rare. They have very low demand because most of the hobby considers anything modern to be common debased junk that has cooties but a few people have actually tried to find these "common" coins and found they aren't out there. Let's take Norway for an example since I haven't used it before. A beautiful old silver 2 krone of 1915 with a mintage of 1/2 million is worth $125. A newer ugly base metal 1927 2 krone with a mintage of double the 1915 is worth $550. An even more modern 1958 with a comparable mintage is worth $325. Remember the more recent coins have very weak demand because they have cooties yet they are worth far more. Think about what causes this and then go out and see what a '72-D quarter with a type "b" reverse will cost you.[/QUOTE]
