<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 213032, member: 4626&quot;]The initial mintages don&#039;t necessarily reflect the rarity in a given condition.&nbsp; The 1948 was saved in higher numbers and is easier to find in higher condition, despite the fact it was minted in lower numbers than the 48D.&nbsp; You&#039;ll notice that the 1949D and 1949S are both worth quite a bit more than 48&#039;s in high condition, despite their higher mintage, because less were saved.</p><p><br /></p><p>You see this with the Morgan dollars all the time... there are some with high mintages that few bothered to save, so are hard to find in high condition... there are some low mibtages where almost none of them circulated, and were rediscovered in large numbers in the 1950&#039;s and 1960&#039;s... some dates that were minted i great numbers, but many were melted down... the value of Morgans rarely has much to do with its initial mintage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
