<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1916D10C, post: 3182489, member: 97585&quot;]Hey guys,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a question regarding the survival estimates of the 1916-D Dime vs 1916 Liberty Standing Quarter.</p><p><br /></p><p>In research of both coins, PCGS estimates 10,000 existing of both.</p><p><br /></p><p>My questions are, how is this the case and why? Wouldn’t there be far less of the 1916 Quarter? And was the Quarter saved more than the Dime??</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1916 Liberty Standing had a mintage of 52,000, less than a quarter of the mintage of the 1916-D Dime.</p><p><br /></p><p>Going by the figures of the New York Subway Hoard, which Documented just 19 examples of the 1916 Quarter, and 241 of the 1916-D Dime.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the 1940’s up until the 60’s, wouldn’t a Quarter have been less likely to have been saved than a Dime, which had a lower face value, thus, contributing to a lower survival rate? More in circulation = More attrition.... BUT..... there were far fewer Quarters made. The fact that so many of the Dime were in circulation when so little of the quarter was is curious. The Dime circulated more, but there were over 4 times as many made. It is indicated that 3.79% of the mintage Of 1916-D exists, as compared to the much higher 19.23% of the 1916 Quarter.........</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please enlighten me here. Forgive me if this is a stupid question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
