<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ronnie58, post: 2963018, member: 90698&quot;]The 5000 figure for 1927 10C survivors is from the PCGS CoinFacts site, under the Rarity heading.&nbsp; I agree that it sounds iffy. Sometimes the total number of submissions for grading of a given date/mm outnumbers their survival estimate, so it&#039;s not airtight by any means.&nbsp; I heard from a veteran seller who I buy from that this fellow David Hall of PCGS, was under a severe deadline to construct this database, so he may well have been throwing numbers around to get it done.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; But in this case the PCGS Price/Pop lists an aggregate of less than 300 of 1927&#039;s being submitted for grading.&nbsp; That is likey what the 5000 estimate is derived from, at least in part.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; How anyone could hope to know is another question.&nbsp; I for one prefer to think that there are still plenty of hoards to be discovered in great-grandma&#039;s houses and in forgotten attics.&nbsp; But in reality I suspect that these pros and veterans have a fairly good handle on survival numbers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
