  Excellent question...I have asked myself the same thing for the last 2 years! Many early Walking Liberty Halves are tough to find in a nice circulated grade (VF-EF)....and a lot of the VG and F coins have been cleaned or are damaged or scratched!

  I think since the price of coins (higher and lower grades included) have increased in the past years, the demand for nice Circ. coins have risen to the point where people are holding on to what they have and not much is surfacing anymore for sale. Also I think that the general coin collecting population doesn't spend BIG bucks on a few higher grade coins, but spends a good amount on alot of coins that are lower grades, thus depleting the Circ. population even more.
  
  Just my take.

  Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

  Considering that's what I prefer to collect, why don't you all send them to me so I can keep good care of them? They would get the treatment from me.
  
  I just got today, well circulated, a 1952 and 64-D Dime-given to my mom by a friendly fellow customer at a store, and she gave them to me when she got home, and they will be in my collection forever!
  
  Actually the 64-D is in really great shape. Only a little bit of dirt around the rim, and you have to turn it a certain way to really notice it. (Maybe I'm just in poor light though..)
