<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 504618, member: 13650"]Well said. The numbers you have come up with here are what I was trying to get at. I know it was far from a scientific study. This is why I said your odds now are likely far less than a 1% chance. And I agree. To say there's even 377,000 or 0.01% left in circulation is probably too high. </p><p><br /></p><p> There's no way of knowing everything that has been removed, collected, lost, or destroyed, so I just tried to illustrate the situation from known numbers. Which explained a lot to me. </p><p><br /></p><p> All things considered though, it should still be rare to get a 1965 quarter. You just wouldn't think so many would still be circulating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
