[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 782343, member: 16510"][b]It differs, I find plenty 42-D and 39-D. not many 55-S[/b] It differs, I find plenty 42-D and 39-D. not many 55-S - they were saved and now are common, at least in BU, Unc. It really depends on what you get - if you ever get a chance at a real "Unsearched" group of wheats you'll see very different results but not in regards to 55-S's. I get groups from mom and pops that they saved (owned a store or something) and you find everything but 55-S (much) they were saved then and that is the result. The lastest group I went through was 7000 all put up in 2x2's - did not matter date/mint or grade plus all in 20 pocket pages from people who owned a store near here during 40's and 50's and just saved everything - found 13-D's 15-D & S's 24-D pages of 1916 P,D, & S's all from poor to VF-35 even XF but even in that group only 20 or so 55-S's. Other hard ones seems to be 41-S, 49-S, of course 31-D & 22-D, 26-S and 14-S. Please trust me on this one - if sold thru dealer or other collectors 99% of the time they are not unsearched at all - keep working and you will get the chance at some good ones they are out there![/QUOTE]
