The mintages on these are as follows... 1939 10C Mintage: Circulation strikes: 67,740,000 1939-D 10C Mintage: Circulation strikes: 24,394,000 1939-S 10C Mintage: Circulation strikes: 10,540,000 The PCGS estimates are as follows... 1939 MS66-$30; MS67-$40 1939 FB MS66-$275; MS67-$600 1939-D MS66-$27; MS67-$75 1939-D FB MS66-$58; MS67-$160 1939-S MS66-$30; MS67-$345 1939-S FB MS66-$1100; MS67-$3200 Anybody have a theory on why the 1939-Ds with FB are treated with such disrespect? You'd figure here must be a reason, right? Thanks.
Luckily I learned that already from you guys. But relatively-speaking, why do they seem to be undervaluing the Denver strikes w/FBs? The only thing that occurs to me is that these Denvers must have struck a lot better that the Philadelphias and San Franciscos (...does that make any sense?).
Not sure where the PCGS main office is located but if it's in San Fran or Philly and the Broncos beat up on them lately, then PCGS people would have a right to downgrade D minted coins. Oddly enough I know a coin collector that will not collect S mint coins since the 49ers beat the Bears back in 86 I think.
