Oftimes they didn&#039;t appear in circulation or were prohibitively rare.&nbsp; Rolls weren&#039;t saved so even if they weren&#039;t rare it would make little difference.&nbsp; MS-67 quarters in rolls would be rare if it were any other date than &#039;98-D.&nbsp; This date came nicer and was saved in larger numbers but still there will be more in the mint sets than in rolls probably.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is an educated guess.&nbsp; I&#039;ve watched these markets for years and know how they behave.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is a very simple concept; if people were hoarding coins they would be seen.&nbsp; There can&#039;t be a massive conspiracy for everyone to stash away large numbers of coins and keep them all hidden.&nbsp; The real world doesn&#039;t work this way.&nbsp; If there were lots of &#039;98-D quarters you would see rolls and bags.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Millions of wheat cents were saved in rolls.&nbsp; Moderns haven&#039;t been saved.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re starting to get it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>And modern coins everywhere are exploding in price.&nbsp; Maybe coins don&#039;t get their collector value from silver.&nbsp; Maybe a coin doesn&#039;t have to be 1500 years old or exactly 208 years old to be rare and desirable.&nbsp; Maybe they get their value from supply and demand and you&#039;re wrong about the supply and the demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
