I don't even know how one could even determine survival rates.... however it certainly does seem that a lot of '35's have come to market quite recently!

As the first year of issue, many were saved and remain in drawers and binders. I doubt that many were melted just because they are from the 30's. Many were minted and many remain ... lots of MS coins.

Common even in grades up to and including MS66. The coins were saved in abundance as a special commemorative and a first issue. Over the years many were mishandled , cleaned and even spent. The survival rate is probably over 50 per cent of the original mintage. In the massive silver run of the late 1970s many WERE melted as the bullion value far exceeded the collector value of Circulated examples.
The interesting thing about the 1935 Dollar is the way the Mint issued some of them . In cardboard rolls. That is a major reason you find many satiny Lustrous , almost Specimen in appearance GEMS.
Optimal collecting grade is an attractive MS 64 for a serious collector. Don't settle for unattractive hairlined Cleaned or Circulated examples of this Date.

I actually prefer the obverse of the 1936 dollar, but there is no doubt this issue is beautiful. I have one as well, in a cccs ms65 slab with dark toning

Great example and great pics as usual from viper. I think that SPP would call that "pull away toning" on the obverse example from viper.
Very nice..!!

I have this 1935 dollar in an ICCS holder...Unfortunately it has a few dark spots on both the obverse and reverse that detract from the overall eye appeal.   |

Yes they are very pretty,..but the brilliant ones have all been dipped..but still look spectacular.. That toned dollar of mine was the only one that wasn't.. When you see "blast white", it's been dipped.. D |

Devlec, I was unaware that dipping a coin would produce a blast white finish. Thank you for the post. A question regarding dipped coins and grading,...why is this not noted on the ICCS holder?

I picked up a couple of these a few months back - planning on handing them off to my kids someday. Not MS - maybe AU 50 and they still look great.
