<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 2143997, member: 11854&quot;]Do you have a subscription to PCGS Coin Facts?&nbsp; If so, they list the 1916-D Mercury dime to have an estimated survival of 10,000 without full bands (across all grades) and an additional 600 survival with full bands (across all grades) for a percentage survivorship of just over 4% of the original mintage. </p><p><br /></p><p>This seems low to me, simply based upon reckoning and also the fact that PCGS has certified somewhat over 6,500 non-full bands examples and over 350 full bands examples.&nbsp; Of course, a fair number of these are re-grades, but we also are not counting ANACS or NGC certified coins as well as the large pool of never certified examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, I think a better comparable for this coin would be the special finish, metal and mintmark pieces produced by the US Mint over the last two decades or so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
