<p>[QUOTE=&quot;houston_ray, post: 570116, member: 1943&quot;]Hi spock</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I agree the &quot;survival&quot; rate is a key element here.&nbsp; Also the survival rate for a given grade.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming YES, then for instance, is there any historical or empirical evidence that the 1934-S survival rate is low?&nbsp; Because the difference in MINTAGE between the 1934-S and 1934-D is only 600 thousand.&nbsp; Yet, as you point out, the PRICE difference is huge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Has there been speculation there are unknown bags of the 34-S somewhere?&nbsp; I recall something like this in reverse for the 1950-D Jefferson nickel.&nbsp; If memory serves me, that used to be considered a relative expensive date for the set.&nbsp; Then bags and bags of them were found in a vault and they became just another date in the set.</p><p><br /></p><p>What evidence is there that the survival rate for the 1934-S and 1921 were especially low versus the 1934-D and 1935?</p><p><br /></p><p>NOTE:&nbsp; This is one of the things about coin collecting I like the most.&nbsp; I enjoy the background history and science of the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kind Regards</p><p>Houston_Ray[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
