The price spread is because they all circulated. Plain and simple.
Well most of them, PCGS has 304 listed in their current population pages that are MS60 or better, they have certified 12 ms64, one MS65, no MS66, one MS67 and one MS68 the rest are all MS60 through MS63 and 4 are MS PL with no DMPLs certified. Say maybe half of the low end circulated are actually AU coins that is a VERY low population for a coin with a mintage of 3,200,000! .1% or so are uncirculated. They obviously were not saved back when they were new coins, and most of them that were put away were lightly circulated or cleaned causing an AU look to them over the decades.
A major condition rarity coins!
