Message:: [QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2440024, member: 1892"]Less than one-half of one percent of PCGS 1921-P's are PL/DMPL, and that's the most common of the three mints that year. There is, near as I can tell, one single 1921-S adjudicated "DMPL," by NGC. I use Heritage results as a personal method for determining relative rarity of PL/DMPL's. The actual numbers aren't believable because you'd expect them to be disproportionately represented in Heritage sales, being higher-end coins, but the Heritage Archive is large enough to present a usable sample size for comparative purposes. The most common issues in PL/DMPL can form as much as 10-12% of total sales, and once you get under 5% of the total, you're looking at a pretty scarce representation. Less than 4% of 1921 sales results (7200 coins in the case of 1921 across all mints) are noted as PL/DMPL. Scarce, indeed. This one arrived and left my hands as a raw coin, but was undoubtedly PL: [ATTACH=full]508290[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]508291[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]508292[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]508293[/ATTACH] This one - a VAM-47, the (one of?)
