mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 8:08 pm Just out of curiosity, why are certain 80's redbooking at 6.00-12.00 I am sorting through quarters now, and there does seem to be less of those dates, but still I have quite a few of them.

mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 9:10 pm Why bother to reply if you don't intend on answering the questions. Like neither of you have ever made a typing error before Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 9:28 pm Mrwisker, you are taking this wrong. I have certainly made my share of typing errors before. But I can't figure out what you tried to type. What is your question and we will do our best to answer it for you. Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 9:57 pm There were none (or very few, I believe) mint sets minted for that year, so less MS coins were saved. Thus, MS coins that were not circulated (usually from mint sets... very few would keep MS quarters from circulation) are extremely rare and carry the higher price. And you don't have to get all uppity about it. I was wondering too what you were trying to say the first time. Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 10:16 pm I had no clue as to what you were asking and had we not replied you wouldn't have realized the typo. Just take it in stride, laugh and fix the mistake next time. Report this Post to the Staff
mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 10:58 pm Many there is a time that a thread goes completely south because of a typo. I just get fried real quick when that happens (ok maybe not on this forum) My apologies for jumping rather quickly. the 1983p and 1983d show in the RedBook at 21.00 and 10.00 respectively the 1986d is at 12.00 Why? I just got done sorting out quarters, and I seem to have quite a few of them. What makes these years so "special" Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 11:36 pm Really? Mine is showing $40 and $20, and that's from a 2005 RedBook! In the front of the book there is a table for UNC and proof sets. There were no UNC sets issued in 1983 (only special mint sets that you had to go to the mint to get), which explains the price. Remember! Our circulating finds from the 80s are usually at best XF, so if you have a true MS specimen, hats off to you. As for the disparity between P and D mint prices, I'm at odds, too. Also for the 1986D, there was a drop of ~~50k~~500k of the sold sets, so I guess that's why high quality pieces are so expensive. Edited by wd1040 07/26/2009 11:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 07/27/2009 07:15 am That makes a bit of sense. You are correct about the condition though. I'll probably pull out the best and dump the rest back into circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
