<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2307576, member: 36230&quot;]Keep telling yourself that and ignore what really matters... how many have <i><b>survived</b></i> to the present day. What&#039;s gone is gone... the cent placed on the railroad tracks by some kid isn&#039;t going to magically reappear back in mint condition (pick your poison). Again, the ORIGINAL MINTAGE, be it factual or estimated, only tells us how many were originally produced. How many 1933 double eagles were minted; did this play any part in the Farouk sale, or would it if the known others came to market? Of course not... but it has &quot;<i>EVERYTHING to do with supply</i>&quot;? The only way a higher original mintage can play into survival is by increasing the chances that more have made it to today.</p><p><br /></p><p>No matter how many were made, one cannot buy what does not exist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
