1983 quarter question

What's up with the 1983 and 1983 d quarters. I was browsing numismedia and saw that they are valued at 2.30 and 1.15 respectively in G4. Why is this? The mintage numbers don't seem to be that much lower then other dates of this period. I looked through three rolls and some pocket change the was sitting around and found three Ps and one D so they can't be too rare. So what's up with that? Thanks for any info.

No mint sets were made in 82 or 83. They shouldn't have that value on them in lower conditions but they do.
Unc. examples are right pricey.

Thanks Abe. I have found a few more and will continue to set them aside. I did some browsing of completed auctions on the Bay and they seem to sell ok. I saw one roll of circulated coins sell for $50. I'll try and sell then when I get a roll and then buy some silver. I agree that they should not be so valued but the market speaks.
