I guess no one else finds this odd, but me.

It may be the difference of planned introduction and unplanned. Mintage is a factor as well. I didn't check VV to see what the planned MM or MMs were though. Maybe it isn't that rare and more unrealized like me (and Ocala).

What I am saying is that I did look at VV. I like how he shows examples of th MM used. Dr. Wiles does not indicate this particular MM as rare for 1962. That is why I find this listing odd. Mainly because it states it was attributed by Dr. Wiles.

I see. Varied opinions. A bit odder amongst the experts I suppose but it happens.

Problem is it states it was attributed by Dr. Wiles. So it is not conflicting experts. It is a conflict with the same person. I am just wondering why Brian is stating this to be a rarity that Dr. Wiles attributed, yet Dr. Wiles does not indicate it as rare on the very site he maintains.

Not sure of the rarity but I found none in 10 rolls which means nothing.
Either way its something interesting to find anything transitional thing is a fun addition to the search for me.
As for Brian coin it is a discovery coin which most likely what added the premium amount or value its also looks very high grade.

Coop, I fully understand that. What I do not understand is why Wiles would not show it as scarce or rare like he does on some of the S mint marks . Especially since he is the one that attributed the coin on Brian's site. And yes Ocala, I believe in a premium for a discovery piece, but he states it is the only one known as well.

I'm not familiar with the numbers for each MMS or if it is known for sure. But I would have to check my stash to see if they are rare or not.

I thought it was Brian's statement in regard only known specimen and from that it's assumed to be rare (by us). Maybe that's my confusion? I only have a few to examine myself, so doubtful I'll have one in my collection. But a cool find should any of us find one.

My confussion is why Wiles is not mentioning it to be rare on the VV website. If he truly attributed it, and it was the only known example, would it not make sense for him to mention such on the VV site as well? I guess I just see it as being contridicting since it is not mentioned as rare or scarce on the VV website. Especially since there are other MM with the distinction of being rare on the VV website.

Just wanted to let you know my finds so far on the 1962D I have only about 100 in total from the 1960's decade. I am about 3/4 of the way through them. But I found only 2 1962D's and I believe both of them are the MMS-006.   |
