Savings rates were low due primarily to macroeconomic reasons and a predisposition
of modern collectors to seek other mint products that year. Secondarily, even though
quality was improving from the earlier zinc issues it was still quite poor. Many people
who saved coins in those days didn't save any if they didn't find nice ones.
There is also the mess the mint made with the ordering system that year. Mint set sales
were dismal since few reorder forms got out to collectors. Many moderns, even cents,
come primarily from these sets. Anything that impacts the sets such as high prices caused
by low supply will impact the availability of coins. Those seeking this coin in quantity will
have great difficulty and their bids push the price up.
It's ironic that quality is fairly good for this year. It's the first zinc issue which is relatively
common in gem and relatively few coins suffer from corrosion.
You just answered a question I've had for years. Since collecting uncirculated mint sents since 1979, the 1986 is the only one I don't have. In fact, I didn't realize I didn't have that one until much later, and wondered how that could have happened. At that time, I relied on the mail order form to remind me to order. I'm thinking now that I never got one. Thanks!
