Three 1960 D Small Date Coins?

[joel]

Willbrooks said the 1960 D small date is plentiful when I posted my first find. I believe he is correct because I think I found three more. Does anyone agree or disagree? Thanks, Joel

Willbrooks is correct. A large percentage of the Denver ones are small dates.

Yes, those are all small dates.

The Philly SD is much scarcer- it goes for a couple of dollars in BU Red.

Thanks Coop. Now that I have 4 1960 D small dates my odds of finding a 1960 P small date should be greatly improved. Well, I'll let you know if I find one. Thanks, Joel

Good luck, Joel. I don't understand how the 1960P SD is so scarce in circulation, and yet only worth a couple dollars. I've only found one in true circulation out of nearly one million cents. Did they horde them back in the day?

It's fact, the small date D is not hard to find while searching and you can still buy OBW rolls of them for cheap.

Thanks Liveandie for your response and feedback. I realize that they are not that valuable, but I still enjoy the hunt and the find. Also I feel that I am learning a lot from you and all the other members who advise me. Thanks, Joel

I have pulled 2 or 3 rolls worth of 60D small dates but have yet to find a 60P.

Dang, if furry has not found a 60P SD they must be extinct LOL! Seriously I did not realize they are that hard to find. Going to check my mixed bag of almost BU's

Yes, they hoarded the small dates (P and D) and there was a time that the Ps were worth BIG bucks.
I think the reason they dropped was that so many people thought they were "investing" and hoarded rolls in the roll hoarding boom days. Now those hoarded rolls are available so the prices are lower.

The same thing repeats, like now people hoard rolls of the 2009 types. I bet that even with the lower mintages of each type of 2009 cents that people hoarded more of each type than most normal years. In 50-100 years those rolls will still be available. The rolls that go up in price the most are the mundane stuff that nobody saves rolls of.

I think Ed is right. That also explains why GEM+ graded large dates are worth as much or more(67) than small dates. They were hoarded in unc rolls.

[joel]

Well, Furry, I would say the odds are still pretty low for me finding a 60P SD. Only good luck could beat those odds. Thanks, Joel

Thanks for the insights GrumpyEd. For every action there is a reaction even in coin collecting. Thanks, Joel
