It isnt like your typical silver coin that where many were melted or lost or destroyed. Being that it was a new design, many were saved. If I remember correctly that entire mintage of 488,000 were made in one week&#039;s time in August of 1909. Then the VDB was removed so that made them fairly collectable from the start. So personally, I&#039;d say it is fair that atleast 3/4 of that mintage still exists, if not more. But with US coins, scratches and cleaning detract from the coin and I dont think are factored into survival estimates.</p><p><br /></p><p>But we are really comparing apples to oranges. What has a better chance of survival? The coin that is 108 years old or the coin that is 2000+ years old. I mean even those ancients with very high mintages could still be considered rare by US coin standards today.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anymore I find supply has very little to do with the value of a coin. It&#039;s all about demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
