I see coinstudy.com prices in G at 111 and 227 respectively, with mintages at 1.9 million and 1.4 million. Then I look at 1927-D and 1927-S, more rare at 1 million and 396 thousand, yet valued far less at 7.65 and 34 in the same condition. What is the reason? Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 03/08/2017 10:34 am First off the 1927 D and S were saved more in quantity and secondly their dates didn't wear off as easily as the coins dated 1916-1924. Basically once the date is gone there is no way to tell if you have a 1918 S or 1923 S, the mintmark doesn't get faded unlike the date. It is rare to see a 27S in higher grade, most come in low graded from ag3-f12. These are a few reasons why the price differential is so high. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/08/2017 8:19 pm You've spotted just one example of mintage versus circulation use resulting in seemingly "cheap" prices for lower mintage issues. There are a lot of such examples within the U.S. coin series. Learning those discrepancies as you did here really helps to fuel the need for even more knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff
