Message:: [QUOTE="swhuck, post: 879506, member: 21044"]I put together the list. It's nice to see some discussion; this means that somebody out there reads my stuff. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> There are basically two things going on with the list. For obvious reasons, we go out of our way to offer key coins, which is why you see things like the 1909-S VDB and 1914-D at the top. We also, within the past few years, offered a huge number of coins from the Omaha Bank hoard, and this is why you'll see a lot of coins from the late 1930s to the 1940s show up in quantity. My guess about the 1909-VDB is simply that, like many other first year issues, they were saved in large quantities when they were first released and thus come nice. The 1922 no D came close to making the list, probably 12th or so if I remember correctly (I did not keep anything below the top ten, and it's really difficult to recreate rankings). Because they bring very different money, I separated the Strong Reverse and Weak Reverse varieties; if combined, they would have ranked sixth. Here are the raw figures for some of the other coins that people guessed in this thread: 1910-S: 4871911-S: 3631922 no D, strong reverse: 7971922 no D, weak reverse: 3481924-D: 5621925: 3291926: 4331972 DDO: 6611995 DDO: 861 (far and away the highest among Memorials)[/QUOTE]
