<p>[QUOTE=&quot;180IQ, post: 2635717, member: 84901&quot;]You can make an educated estimate. That&#039;s what a survival estimate is. You look at 1000 examples of a coin, use the survival estimates that exist to get a good Idea of how many are left. How do the top companies know how many were minted, and how many are left? Only so many coins can be hammered from a single die face, I would venture no more than 60,000 coins came from each pair of dies considering you have weak d variety of the 1911-d. I would say the 1913 on the bottom is similar to my variety, almost exactly the same. The 1912 is ugly and spider webbed, doesn&#039;t look like my variety. Maybe one of them could be a die state earlier or later than my variety? Also die states could make my variety much more rare as possibly only 1000 or 10,000 were minted before the die broke worse, or was polished. Out of 1000 examples, I have found 25 that look quite like the 1913 in the same year as my coin. I have only seen one example of the 1913 you show, and it was for sale on flee bay, but recently sold. I wish I had the money to get it. Only $500 ish. I have seen very many from several different years in the same state as the 1912 you have shown.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
