| How many Merc's and Roosies are still out there? This has always been in the back of my mind but now I have a forum to play with so... During the graet silver melt, millions upon millions of silver coins were destroyed. This included all silver coins. but roosevelt and mercury dimes come to mind especially as these were considered minor coins at the time. Roosevelt dimes have not appreciated that much since that time but Mercurys have. Has anyone, anywhere done a study on the actual population of either of these series to get an accurate idea of just what values these coins should actually have as opposed to valueing them by their mintage numbers? I would think that if such a study were done that both of these series would have or should have appreciated much more over the years than they have. Does anyone have any thoughts on this. I would love to hear from you and thankyou! |
