<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3182600, member: 26302&quot;]I have read similar. As late as the mid 1920&#039;s I have read you could find BU rolls of 1916 SL on the bourse floor of the ANA conventions. Remember that Philadelphia has the main town of coin dealers back then, and they kept track of what the mint was doing. If something new was being made in December of that year they made sure they went to the mint and bought many rolls and/or bags of the coins for later profit. The 1916d dime, however, coming from Denver did not have this built in dealer market and at the time it really wasn&#039;t flagged as something special. </p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, I also disagree of total pop figures. I could buy 10,000 of each surviving in BU condition, (the 1916d is actually much more common in BU than other early mercs), but cannot fathom that only 10,000 16 D&#039;s exist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
