<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1291138, member: 66&quot;]And with the SVDB it was announced in the newspapers that the coin was being changed to remove the initials just four days after they were introduced so a lot MORE were hoarded than would normally have been saved.&nbsp; This is why the SVDB is not a &quot;rare&quot; coin even though the mintage was very low.&nbsp; The 16-D dime on the other hand received no special notice other than being a first year of issue.&nbsp; At the time collecting by date and mintmark was not common so it didn&#039;t matter that much that the Denver dime had a low mintage.&nbsp; If it hadn&#039;t been a first year of issue it would be much rarer today than it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
