<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2384938, member: 1765"]With the exception of ultra-rarities where each specimen can be traced, the survivorship numbers are estimates based on research done by specialists in the series who have a really good feeling for this. For some of the more common dates where hoards are not known the estimate is probably just a fixed fraction of the original mintage that represents standard attrition from a certain point in time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
