There are lots of great coins struck after 1964. Not all of those destined to be among the highest priced are listed in this thread probably. What hasn't been much discussed are the condition rarities. Many of the high- est grade moderns will exist in the dozens or hundreds, but there is ample reason to believe that some will be unique and be far better than the next highest grade. The people who work at the mint are human and occasion- ally do very human things like attempting to make the worst possible or the best possible coin. There exist mint sets assembled from what look like only the best coins cherry picked from hours of production. Some of the nickels in 1970 mint sets are two grades higher than the second best. There is a very wide range in quality for most moderns, but with many they are usually found in only a small part of the middle or one end of this range.
Another thing mostly omitted from this thread are errors. Coins like cents on struck dimes, and mated pairs. There is a die cap proof half dollar. While it's true that errors usually don't command the huge collector base necessary to attain very high prices, it's entirely possible that this will change as the years roll by.

Let's see, you also have to include the two 65sms Lincolns in 65dcam, the 66sms Lincoln in 65dcam. Then there is the 65 Jefferson in 67dcam. Those are in the 10k range.

My response is the same as my response when asked about women's basketball.

<< <i>76-D Type I Ike 67 $12,500 Pop 1 >>
this is a pop 2 coin and at $405 for a PCGS MS66, $12,500 would be foolish and I'll go on record with that statement.

This thread was a lot more relevant the other day, but the search engine wouldn't cough it up till now.
a dozen of any of these still exist.
Oops, didn't notice two of these are in a recent post.
since it had to be struck in 1965 because it's on a standard clad planchet.
There are also several 1964 clad dimes.
