<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 549811, member: 9474"]Here is what I found. These values came from Coin values online. They have their columns set up this way....

I was trying to type out the chart for you all, but my computer is acting up.</p><p> </p><p>Anyway. The series had a total mintage of 1,000,546. In 1947 there was a total mintage of 100,017 for each mint so there was over 300k minted total for that year. But there are question marks in the columns for numbers melted and final mintage. It isn't until 1948 where we see a final mintage of 8k for each mint and 1949 & 1950 had 6k for each mint. Now remember these aren't original mintages, these are final... which means after the meltage. 1950S and 1951P both have question marks across the board and 1951D and S both have total mintages of 7k. There are these odd numbers like 12,004 and 20,005 and so on, and I believe the extra 4/5 coins were assay coins. Could be wrong there. I remember hearing at one time why the numbers were like that but can't remember. Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
