I think silver melting has something to do with it for sure. I've heard that less than 1% of the Vicky and Ed. coinage still exist. I believe we're also going to see this with nickel coinage soon, as the mint pulls it from circulation and melts it. Speaking of that, the 1970 nickel would appear to be a key date, but it's not. There is more to scarcity than mintage figures sometimes.
