Message:: [QUOTE="Indianhead65, post: 265375, member: 103422"]I have been searching for quite a while for PCGS or NGC cerified 1982-P or D or 1983-P or D Washington Quarters MS65 or better and I cant find them anywhere. I know that these quarters were probably not saved in huge numbers or maybe not at all.  In 1982 there were 500,931,000 quarters made in Philly and 480,042,788 made in Denver. In 1983, there were 673,535,000 quarters made in Philly and 617,806,446 made in Denver. Are these quarters really that scarce in high grades that they're this hard to find? Or, if there were any significant amounts of these hoarded maybe they just havent hit the market yet. You would think that out of over 2 billion coins minted in those two years they wouldnt be that hard to find. Why do you guys and gals think these two particular years are so hard to find in Mint State, beside the fact that there were no mint sets those two years. Most collectors know ahead of time through magazines, coin dealers and inside info from mint employees when there is a certain product the Mint decides not to offer, so why weren't they saved?[/QUOTE]
