<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 668072, member: 112"]Get the book <i>Encyclopedia of US Gold Coins 1795-1933</i> by Garrett & Guth, it talks about how many survive fo rquite a few examples. But another way is to check the population reports, check ads frequently and check auction records. By doing that it soon becomes clear what coins are seldom sold. And coins that are seldom sold usually have the lower survival rates. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course the easiest way is to just check the Grey Sheets. The highest priced coins are typically going to be the ones with the lowest survival rates. There will be exceptions, and often the surviving numbers will be skewed by the mintage if a coin had a low mintage to begin with. But it will most definitely show you that there are fewer of say coin A existing today than there is of coin B.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
