It seems that Philadelphia pieces of this issue are actually somewhat scarcer than Charlotte or New Orleans pieces. The New Orleans pieces come up more often than any of the other mints. The Charlotte pieces are more expensive seemingly because of the overall rarity of and demand for coins from this mint, and the New Orleans pieces follow to a lesser extent. The Philadelphia pieces should not be considered 'common' just because they are associate with the 'common' mint for most years. Dahlonega coins are truly rare, one of the rarest of the series.
