The 1913-D is considered by some to be a better-date Saint, with this being especially the case with nicer uncirculated examples. MS65 aren't necessarily rare, but they are much more difficult than similar Gems from more common years. Meanwhile, pieces grading MS66 or better are truly rare, proving difficult to obtain and commanding robust premiums.
