<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1835408, member: 44079&quot;]Reject means it is a coin found in a roll by me, but I don&#039;t need that coin for the album I am filling on that particular day.&nbsp; Usually, and almost always, a duplicate of something else I already pulled from the roll.&nbsp; Canadian pennies is another good example of my reject horde.&nbsp; A good example would be 1957D coins.&nbsp; For a statistically unknown reason many rolls I see have two or three of them.&nbsp; I tried selling a bunch of 57D pennies on Ebay a year or so ago, but very few were interested which tells me it is a &#039;reject coin&#039; for a lot of roll hunters. </p><p><br /></p><p>@ Evan.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t geography.&nbsp; I am speaking of purchased rolls, not pocket change found at the end of the day.&nbsp; The Internet allows buying rolls from folks in California as easily as it allows buying rolls from folks in Pennsylvania or Colorado. </p><p><br /></p><p>Scarcity of issue doesn&#039;t seem to logically be a factor regarding the 1943S penny, not when I compare it to coins with much smaller mint numbers.&nbsp; The example cited, 1909 VDB is an excellent for instance.&nbsp; Production of the 1909VDB was a mere 27.9 million.&nbsp; Production of the 1943S was 191.5 million.&nbsp; Factor in age and Federal Reserve bank culls of worn out coins.&nbsp; Statistically I should be seeing 5 times as many 1943S coins.&nbsp; Instead I am seeing 2 or 3 1909VDBs for every 1943S Lincoln.&nbsp; I have 6 spare (reject) 1943S pennies (doesn&#039;t include the ones sitting inside a dozen albums), but 22 spare 1909VDB (last comment, ibid).&nbsp; Statistically assuming random deposits into a bank or some other place where coins are rolled, the reverse should be true.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t.&nbsp; Strange.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are all of the missing 1943S pennies lost to Collector Hoarding of&nbsp; steel cents?&nbsp; Not in my opinion.&nbsp; If it were, then I shouldn&#039;t be finding one or two 1943P or D pennies in every other roll.&nbsp; I am thinking maybe the number of 1943S coins actually released into circulation is maybe much lower than the number supposedly produced. </p><p><br /></p><p>No, I don&#039;t wish to buy any, but I did expect to see random statistically probable numbers of them inside rolls from many sources.&nbsp; Some other years coins also come to mind as not meeting my projections of statistically probable to encounter pennies.&nbsp; For instance, I have what I feel is way too many 1939D pennies (most in AG3).&nbsp; With only 15.1 million made, it should be much scarcer than the 1943S or even the 09VDB.&nbsp; Nah, I have as many 39D as I do of the plain 09 VDB.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmm, the relevant question is who else is accruing similar statistics?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
