<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1075413, member: 17919&quot;]The figure was no doubt in the multiple millions. But considering that mintages for 1964-dated silver coins alone totaled billions, and that the cumulative mintage for 1940-45 Mercury dimes totaled more than a billion, multiple millions don&#039;t seem like so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>On edit-- I have heard that some Seated Liberty Half dollars and even some Bust half dollars were consigned to the melting pot in 1979-80. I don&#039;t know if that is true, but if it is true, then that would be a &quot;tragedy&quot;. Personally, I believe that no self-respecting dealer would have allowed Bust and Seated Liberty halves to be melted, but of course, not all dealers are &quot;self-respecting&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
