<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1984637, member: 38849&quot;]I was curious about the relative supply.&nbsp; Omitting the S-proofs and the 1970-D, roughly 847 million 40% halves were minted, or $423 million face value.&nbsp; This seems (to me) a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the vast numbers of 90% out there.&nbsp; Plus, that number doesn&#039;t account for the quantity already melted, which is anybody&#039;s guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>In comparison, there was more SILVER value in just 1964-D silver quarters than in ALL the 40% halves put together:</p><p><br /></p><p>1964-D Quarters - 704 million pieces x $3.35 = $2.36 billion</p><p>40% Halves - 847 million pieces x $2.74 = $2.32 billion</p><p>[Coinflation | September 15, 2014]</p><p><br /></p><p>This calculation makes no allowance for either variety of coin already melted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
