<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 24256, member: 57463&quot;]We only guess at populations based on mintages.&nbsp; Coins were melted, often in great numbers, as the relative prices of gold and silver fluctuated.&nbsp; Coins were exported in payments and then were melted and restruck into some other kind of coin.&nbsp; A lot can happen.&nbsp; So, we now today try to guess and the market tells us.&nbsp; I have been looking for an Uncirculated US $20 FRN from 1914 with the &quot;Transportation Theme&quot; and Wright Flyer.&nbsp; I started with Catalog Retail and went up from there... unsuccessfully now for three years.</p><p><br /></p><p>What interests me, also, is the other side: why coins with half the mintage of the next year carry the same price.&nbsp; This is especially true of Bust Dimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
