  A quick few thoughts...
  
  1. The 54-O is more famous.
  2. There are many New Orleans specialists, but I've never met a Philly specialist.
  3. Until the past 20 years or so, most Double Eagle collectors would have happily filled the 1882 hole with a proof, so the demand for business strikes was not as intense. Things have changed, but prices can be slow to respond.

  It should be noted the 82 tend to come around the same grade in the AU range where an AU 54o is even rarer than the date/mm alone
