<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1858076, member: 15199&quot;]In truth, you can&#039;t find a &quot;True &quot; population of varieties. With few exceptions if the minting error was discovered in the mint, they didn&#039;t count and release them, they removed them and melted them. So the only population that exists are those that are found&nbsp; and then changes hands so people know they exist. Your neighbor may have a 1955/55 DDO, but if it stays in his jar of old cents his dad collected, no one can count it.&nbsp; Probably the best one could do is try and estimate populations is to count the distinct different coins in sales and auctions ( unless they are extremely small number known). But you are right in that the number known is just one factor. Maybe someone can data mine eBay sales and get some numbers, but it is almost impossible.&nbsp; Also one other factor is if the makes of albums put a &#039;hole&#039; for a new variety, the demand for it increases strongly as some want a filled album.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
