purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 5:56 pm After watching the PCGS video a while back, I decided to email Sandy Campbell (involved in RCM/BOC process) to see if he could share the numbers that he had available. I have just compiled them into a sheet based on info from the RCM and previous posting from daryldaryl and CC-Ottawa. Here are the new numbers. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 8:07 pm I note that the $10 copped quite a lot of melting activity. As a result of this, the total remaining for the $5 is now greater than the total remaining for the $10. In what year did most of the melting happen? Report this Post to the Staff

dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 8:42 pm Wow, melting 27% of the limited 1914 $5 mintage. That's staggering. Great work! I didn't think we'd get numbers. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinsplus Valued Member Canada 430 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 8:59 pm I am happy to see the $5 PHS individual numbers stated are the correct official mintages. Some other are stating that there were only 45 1913 $5 PHS and that it was the lowest issued of the 3 $5 PHS coins. What a turn around, that it's actually the highest number of the $5 PHS series. Some others really took it to issue about this and now looks who's laughing. Great job purelywasted! Edited by Coinsplus 03/29/2013 9:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2427 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 9:02 pm If only we could determine how many went into the melting pots over the last hundred years! 10%...20% ...30% ? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinsplus Valued Member Canada 430 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 9:06 pm I can vouch that CC-Ottawa has the correct number of HS for the $5 and $10 coins on his original spreadsheet. They correspond to the official RCM communique provided to RCM Reps and authorized RCM dealers. Report this Post to the Staff

coin_games Valued Member Canada 319 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 9:45 pm I'm a little confused to the numbers. Take for example 1912 $5 coin 1538 (Sandy Campbell) - 140 = 1398 1398 - 1323 (estimate) = 75 How does this give an accurate number for the PHS? Are we to assume that the estimate is correct? or am I reading the chart wrong? Who gave the estimate? and where did daryl get his numbers? Did Sandy only confirm the Bank of Canada Hoard and Released by BoC? Report this Post to the Staff
