<p>[QUOTE="PyrotekNX, post: 139403, member: 3918"]Those figures don't count resubmittals. The collector base for US coins is very large. The Ben Franklin commems had a run of 50,000, they were sold out within a few days. There are also many people with several of them. There are bust half nuts with well over 100 in their collection. Out of the 91,000,000 capped bust halves minted, only 56,000 are accounted for. That's far less than 1% of the total mintage. If the coin collector base was only 10% of the US population (200 Million), there would be enough bust halves for less than 0.5% of collectors. Then you could adjust the figures because the average bust collector has several and some have probably been resubmitted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
