<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1206965, member: 66&quot;]Roll hunting from the bank?&nbsp; Chances pretty much infinitely small unless someone steals a collection and the thief dumps it in a Coinstar machine.&nbsp; Finding something unrecognized in a collection or in someones hoard of coins that gets brought into a shop or passed down to a collector in a family, then yes that&#039;s possible.&nbsp; Stuff still shows up all the time.&nbsp; Does the mint know the exact number that got out?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; They may have records that show how many coins were produced by each die, they are unlikely to know which die a given error came from.&nbsp; If they knew at the time the error was produced they would try to make sure they didn&#039;t get out.&nbsp; If the error was discovered shortly after it was released they might be able to&nbsp; check their die archives and find out which die it came from and the number made but that seldom happens.&nbsp; (I don&#039;t believe they keep die archive coins anymore so this method of checking is no longer available) If it isn&#039;t recognized until it has been out for awhile there is no way for them to determine a number.&nbsp; About the only way to get an estimate as to the number produced it an estimate based on how many are showing up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
