Ok, from a numbers point of view: The 1917 Type II has a mintage of 13.8 million and the 1929 a mintage of 11.1 million. According to your percentages that would give approximate FH strikings of 13,800 for the 1917 Type II and 5.5 million for the 1929. Yet, more 1917 Type II coins have been certified FH than the 1929, according to PCGS.
Does that mean the survivability rate for FH struck coins is higher for the 1917 Type II than the 1929-P? Or, have I just confused myself silly...
