<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 915728, member: 19855&quot;]Background: So, a while back I was admiring my collection when it hit me...I was driving myself nuts with the lack of conformity to my collection. coins in all type of different size flips, various number of staples in these flips, pointing different directions, writing on them by different people, prices, date, grade all in different positions around the flip, etc. I pushed it off, but the more I admired the collection, the more it took away from the joy. So, in my obsessive behavior (I&#039;m a coin guy, so that personality comes naturally) I ordered some 2X2s and started to transfer them and make them look all uniform, with four staples all facing the same way around the coin. In addition, I thought it would be nice, if they all had one writing...mine on the flip, with one color ink. In the top left corner of the flip would be date and mintmark. Top right grade. Bottom right, price I paid. Bottom left, mintage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, going through my Mercs, I got to 1928 large and small S. Looked in the Merc Guide and it only has relative guesses in the form of percentages to the population of each. Most online sources combine the two. I cannot for the life of me find separate numbers to the mintages of large and small S for any of those years with this variety. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, question: Did the mint even keep such record? (My guess is not, otherwise I would have found those numbers by now for all mintmark varieties in my merc collection.) If so, who would I have to bribe to obtain such numbers? Elaine perchance?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for any help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
