[QUOTE="World Colonial, post: 2460719, member: 78153"]Those PCGS estimates are a complete fantasy and can't be remotely accurate. The mintage for both is over one million and modern style collecting in the US dates back to the 1930's. These coins aren't remotely old enough where the survival rate can possibly be that low. I checked the NGC population reports and there are about 1000 for each, with all of the FB as MS. These coins aren't worth enough where low grade (as in circulated) graded examples will have hardly any duplicates. I also checked eBay just now and though I can't filter out the actual examples, 1213 listings came back in the results for 21 and 21-d. I'd say the actual number is at least 10 times the estimates you provided, if not a lot more. Because if it was not, the price would be much higher and it would be a lot harder to buy.[/QUOTE]
