<p>[QUOTE=&quot;marid3, post: 1651774, member: 35968&quot;]I had the same question some time ago.&nbsp; A few thoughts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coinguy is spot on - it&#039;s not about the popluation, as they made a lot, but about the conditional rarity.&nbsp; You&#039;ll see bumps in price for early 80s because of the low numbers of mint state coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second thought is that indeed Redbook isn&#039;t accurate pricing (you&#039;ve likely figured that out), but is good for ballpark numbers.&nbsp; It&#039;s primary value is in the ease of use and for the relative prices - which is precisely what I assume triggered your question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, following the second thought, is that for more modern coins, like 80s, they don&#039;t show values for all grades (for good reason) but because of that, and that they only have columns for MS and Proof, you&#039;re left to wonder about the few price anomolies.&nbsp; In this case, just look at the mintage and if thats not the obvious reason, it&#039;s likely conditional rarity.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Keep asking questions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
