<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3470653, member: 26302&quot;]I understand your frustration OP. However, not to make you even more depressed, many more factors would also play into it. Local demand for coinage will affect how many go into circulation versus sitting in bank vaults. Sometimes going into circulation definitely lowers survival rates, other times massively improves them. Each coin has to be looked at on its own. Chain cents going into circulation were massively lost to collectors, while 20th century gold coins going into circulation saved them from the FDR melt. </p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, while slabbers pop reports can be a guidance, they have their own problems. One is cracking out for regrading will distort these numbers. The other problem is collectors like me who bought in the 1980&#039;s and refuse to slab their coins. While I do not collect US coins anymore, they are sitting in my SDB &quot;unaccounted for&quot; by slabbing companies. Hopefully my kids will keep them like I bought them. Nothing earth shattering, but a few hundred pretty nice, (AU+) classic US coins all unslabbed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
