According to a Heritage Auctions description of the 5 cent piece, the majority were melted down in favor of the new non-silver type. I would assume the same thing happened to the 10 cent coins. There wasn't a new composition replacement for the 10 cents though.

That would be my assumption too, but they did go back to silver 5 Cents for 1926 & 1935, albeit at a different fineness silver...
Usually, Krause has a note when there is an issue with a major melt, but they do not for this type, unfortunately...
