Message:: [QUOTE="Coinguy56, post: 1188489, member: 27133"]Those mintages apply for all coins, but here's a fact: Those mintages are based on how many were originally minted, but that doesn't mean they are all out there. For example: The 1909 VDB is in 2nd place for lowest mintage, right? Behind the 1916. That was at the time, today, there could be maybe 100 09 VDB's surviving today and maybe a few hundred 1916's. Go figure. Originally the 1916 was the lowest mintage, but today the 09 VDB has the lowest surviving mintage. But still, all MPL's are pretty rare to find, because all have low surviving mintages. The original recorded mintages are still nice to go by, just to have an idea on how many were minted. Today's are just estimated, there's no one out there that can tell us exactly how many are surviving today in any date.[/QUOTE]
