Is there a mintage figure for the 1945 Micro S Winged Liberty head dime? Have final sales numbers ever been published for the Bicentennial series of silver clad quarters, half dollars, and dollars. All I have seen is 11 million uncirculated and 4 million proofs were minted, but the number available is actually smaller as unsold pieces were melted down. I realize that the Mint may have not kept track of, or published, this information. If that is the case, are there any reasonable estimates of the mintages of these varieties?
