<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 95277, member: 68&quot;]There are lots of coins which simply don&#039;t have much demand so people don&#039;t </p><p>know they&#039;re tough.&nbsp; I know several collectors who have been looking for some </p><p>nice choice or gem clad quarters which are supposed to be dirt common but can&#039;t</p><p>find them.&nbsp; Even the &#039;83-P which lists for a &quot;high&quot; price of about $40 in gem is </p><p>simply unobtainable raw or slabbed.&nbsp; Choice coins list in some publications as low</p><p>as $8 but these can be very tough as well.&nbsp; Incidentally while they list at $8, they</p><p>wholesale at $25!!!&nbsp; Many of the moderns are like this.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I used to get a kick out of coin shows because almost any larger show will have</p><p>multiple examples of gem &#039;09-S vdb cents available for sale but you couldn&#039;t find</p><p>something like a &#039;72-S even in MS-60.&nbsp; While this coin is extremely common in </p><p>MS-60 it is probably as scarce as the &#039;09-S vdb in nice gem.&nbsp; The big difference </p><p>was in the price.&nbsp; The old coin cost many hundreds (now many thousands) and the </p><p>later coin would cost 2c if you could find it (now several hundred). </p><p><br /></p><p>Prices are determined largely by demand.&nbsp; Even common coins can command high</p><p>prices while rarities sell for a song.&nbsp; If you&#039;re concerned about resale value then </p><p>the most important consideration is to be on the proper side of the change in</p><p>demand.&nbsp; Coins with growing demand increase in price and large increases in de-</p><p>mand can translate into large increases in price.&nbsp; This is where many of the later </p><p>dates have the greatest opportunity; there is still very little demand for the &#039;72-S.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
