<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 499167, member: 13650&quot;]That&#039;s an interesting thought.&nbsp;&nbsp; The thing is, the total CC mintage figure stands around only 13 million total to begin with.&nbsp; Even if they had melted every CC Morgan ever made, it would account for less than 5% of the total coins melted by this act.&nbsp;&nbsp; That being said, many CC populations could have been devastated by this.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I wonder if the later years might have taken a bad hit, such as the 1900s to 1904s?&nbsp;&nbsp; Just because of the likelihood that many of them still could have been sitting around in bags in 1918.&nbsp;&nbsp; More so than say 1880&#039;s examples.&nbsp;&nbsp; Which you would think they would have had more of a chance (more time) for most of them getting spread out into circulation and gone by the time this went on.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; All speculation.&nbsp; Who knows?&nbsp; When you&#039;re dealing with a number that large, they could have rounded up huge circulated bags full of everything from the banks.&nbsp; Including bags from the mints.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hard to imagine what we&#039;re left with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
