<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 5228472, member: 104064"]It's all supply, demand, and hype. And thus it's all relative. Sure, the 1948 dollar is not rare. But an 1893-S Morgan, mintage 100,000, sells for $2500 in VG, and a 1948 dollar, mintage 18,780, you can get in MS63 for the same $. Somebody paid $47,000 for a UNC Details 1893-S. Way more people collect Morgans than Canadian dollars. Conversely, the 1947 Maple Leaf dollar, also minted in 1948, mintage 21,135, lists for one-third the price of the 1948 in the same condition with nearly the same mintage. People just want that visible date. I wouldn't get the 1948 in a Details grade, but a lot of collectors just want to fill that hole.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
