[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 4277102, member: 77814"]I did a quick search and looked at a few clickbait websites and couple YouTube videos. They all refer to 1916 cents in general as possibly rare, condition as prices rise, they refer to the amount minted of circulated coin counts, etc etc. Well, duh, they are 104 years old in general. So finding a nice condition one in circulation is going to be very rare as think of the millions of people of all ages over the decades, albeit century, that have collected coins. Plus the gov't(banks) removes old worn coins and replace them too. But [B][U]not one[/U][/B] of those websites/youtube mentions that there was [B][U]only 1,050 Proofs made[/U][/B]. They all made it seem as though the general circulated copies were of the same breed as the Proofs and they were easily found. :banghead:[/QUOTE]
