<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Murphy45p, post: 3470595, member: 96005&quot;]If there is another organization that is keeping track of raw coins, I&#039;d love to know it, but I don&#039;t think it would be an accurate count.&nbsp; For instance, I inherited coins from my grandparents, unslabbed.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never provided any information about them to any organization (and likely would be hesitant to do so), there are millions of coins out there like that.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think it is impossible to know with any certainty a precise amount of surviving coins.&nbsp; What MAY be possible, is for someone to develop an algorithm that would be accepted by the hobby as generally accurate, which would allow general rarities of coins to be estimated.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a coin is severely worn, it probably isn&#039;t going to be submitted for grading unless it&#039;s valuable in lower grades.&nbsp; And after a hundred years, that describes the majority of coins that were circulated.&nbsp; That&#039;s the problem with solely relying on grading services in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
