<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 24779311, member: 68&quot;]Most people would be amazed how many tokens and medals from the 20th century have no surviving examples.&nbsp; This stuff was made in huge quantities but has suffered surrealistic attrition.&nbsp; Most of it wasn&#039;t collected and the attrition on even something popular like CA good for tokens is 100% for most issues.&nbsp; Those which survive usually have several hundred examples because the entire surviving mintage was saved by the issuer to assure he wouldn&#039;t have to redeem them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Very few of the older &quot;thin dimes&quot; exist in Unc and some dates I&#039;ve never seen but almost certainly were struck in very large numbers.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of world modern coins&nbsp; have suffered the same fate; they were deemed too common and too unimportant to collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
