<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2307704, member: 36230"]That's exactly why... they'really well known, are, and have been popular for a very long time. Think how even the so-called "rarer" Carson Morgans, with many thousands upon thousands known (survived) still sell for very strong money compared to their availability. The supply may be fairly large, but so is the demand, and to sufficient levels to push prices high, especially when compared to many other coins with similar survival numbers. If the 55DDO was less popular, even with the same survival numbers, prices would be nowhere near what they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the original mintage numbers, I understood them to be estimated at, as mentioned earlier, about 24k. Unlike straight date/mint/types where exact numbers are usually known, the best we have are estimates due to this being a variety. The true number could be higher or lower, but is most likely in that area somewhere. In the OP it was said that the PCGS/NGC pop numbers are just over 7400, and although this number will be inflated due to resubmissions, it doesn't include "lesser" TPGs or problem coins bagged/encapsulated by the top two, meaning the number they've actually handed is likely higher than what's listed. There are also still a fair number of raw examples out there. Put it all together and it's probably reasonable to say that there are at least, close to, or around 10k surviving examples in all grades/conditions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
