seattleMD Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 01/11/2013 4:09 pm Curious if anyone else (primarily west coast collectors) have noticed that of all the copper LMC they find in circulation, the most commonly found high-grade are the 1974D mintage? Was there a historical reason for more people hoarding these then usual? Some fad at that time? Report this Post to the Staff
