<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3130542, member: 84179&quot;]Sounds like a good research project for a new collector.&nbsp; You should start by checking the sold listings of major auction houses such as Heritage, Stack&#039;s Bowers, etc.&nbsp; I would guess that if they sold something like this, at least one of the lot description would provide an estimated number of pieces in existence.&nbsp; Don&#039;t forget to check 1946, 1946-D and 1946-S.&nbsp; You can look up the number of 1946-PDS nickels minted in your copy of the Redbook (don&#039;t have one?&nbsp; Buy one right away &quot;The Handbook of United States Coins&quot;.&nbsp; Best $10-15 you&#039;ll ever spend on the hobby).&nbsp; Do some basic math to figure out the percentage of wrong planchet errors made.&nbsp; The probability of finding one in change requires too many assumptions to get an accurate answer (how many nickels are in circulation at any given time, and how many of those are 1946 etc, etc, etc)</p><p><br /></p><p>Let us know what you find</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT:&nbsp; Sorry, I confused this with another post (wrote it before the first cup of coffee <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ).&nbsp; Ignore the stuff about 1946 nickels.&nbsp; You need to determine how many 1943 standard composition off planchet errors have been certified.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
