<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3986302, member: 19165&quot;]Yes, the 1914D has a lower surviving population (roughly 6,000 graded by NGC). It had a higher initial mintage, but because of the widespread publicity of the 1909 as the first year of issue, more of them were saved. They are more available in higher grades as a result. The 1914D wasn&#039;t recognized as a key date until many years later. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other key, 1931S, has even fewer graded than the 1914D. However, by this time, speculators were starting to get savvy to the mint&#039;s production and collector response. Few 1931S were released for circulation, but when dealers were able to get ahold of bags or rolls of 31S cents, they preserved them in high grades. Circulated 31S cents are scarce compared to UNC examples, which is unusual.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
