<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prethen, post: 58011, member: 1756&quot;]As I noted in my above post, early proofs, those prior to 1917, have much more remarkably low mintage figures.&nbsp; When you get into the 19th century proofs, especially the 60&#039;s and 70&#039;s, many have only a 50% or so survival rate (some lower, some higher).&nbsp; The highest mintage until the mid-70&#039;s is 1000.&nbsp; The highest mintage other than that was in 1883 and was about 6600.&nbsp; Big whoop, but it makes current modern day (including 1940&#039;s) mintage figures look sky high![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
