<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 263842, member: 6763&quot;]Magman:</p><p>&nbsp;The answer is relative simple, if not strange.</p><p>The 1914 D was ignored when it was released.</p><p>With a mintage of 1,193,000 is was not a very low mintage, and nothing unusual.</p><p>Remember the year before the Barber Half dollar had a mintage of 188,000 and that year (1914) the half had only 124,320 minted.</p><p>Additionally, in 1913 San Francisco minted a whopping 40,000 quarters.</p><p>So, A mintage of over 1 million was no big deal.</p><p>However, in 1931 the 866,000 was noticed and (even during the Depression) everyone saved them, to the point that they are probably more available in unc than in circulated grades.</p><p>So, lesson learned: mintage isn&#039;t everything.</p><p>As they say: that is the rest of the story.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
