<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1344148, member: 26302&quot;]Going off of memory, but I believe 264,000 1916 d mercuries were minted. Most were saved. That is a lot of mercury dimes, right? What about the 1909sVDB, of which nearly 100% were saved? Should these be common coins too? </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course demand has EVERYTHING to do with pricing, (supply/demand, right?). I have coins that maybe 10 exist in the world. Value? About $300. If supply was the only factor then many of my coins are worth millions. If only 10 exist in the world for a coin, but only 5 are wanted, there is little value for it. If 100,000 exist but 500,000 are wanted, then demand outstrips supply. I just posted on a world coin thread about this very point. US coins are in such high demand that mintages that for any other country would be huge can be considered &quot;rare&quot; here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
