<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2776741, member: 77639&quot;]Yes, mintage figures should be reliable for gross production of coins made for circulation and their corresponding proofs.&nbsp; There are some coins, like most patterns and a few proofs corresponding to business strikes, for which mintages were never published, and no records have yet been found.&nbsp; Estimates of production are primarily from public sales and museum collections.&nbsp; There is a long timeline for many of these, but who knows, maybe a hoard of a thousand $4 stellas will be found tomorrow.&nbsp; Production numbers for varieties are lacking in most cases too.&nbsp; Again we have to rely on data from public sales and museum collections.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
