IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36845 Posts	Posted 08/15/2012 11:39 am Mintage doesn't always equate to higher prices. Price is determined by demand and availability. The 1914-D Lincoln Cent has twice the mintage of the 1931-S but sells for half the price in lower grades. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/15/2012 11:48 am The early Buffaloes were affected by significant attrition rates, many of the dates wore off completely so those coins are essentially lost even though they may still physically exist in dateless form. The 1926S is less expensive than the 1913S TII in lower grades but the 1926S is actually the most expensive non-overdate in the entire series in EF and above grades. Report this Post to the Staff

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 08/15/2012 1:48 pm The 26S coins did not wear away- there are many partial dates but few are dateless, unlike the 13S Type II and other teen mint marked coins, especially 14 and 15. Report this Post to the Staff
CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 08/15/2012 3:13 pm Mycrob pretty much hit it on the head. The Older dates were much more circulated, wore away easy, so finding them even in low grades is MUCH more difficult than finding a 26s or 31s in higher grades, directly affecting the demand and value of those.
