Only 15% wide date in circulation. I must have been very lucky to find one then.

Thanks to Dennis Hughes for the information below.

Here is the research that I did 2 years ago. I went through 5 bags from RAM, all from different cities, and have searched thousands of mint and proof sets

Circulation.......ND 85% WD 15%
 Uncirculated sets....ND 20%.. WD 80%
 Uncirculated Baby....ND 15%.....WD 85%
 Fist Day Covers.....ND (almost impossible, but they do exist, 2 sighted, all the rest are wide date)
 Proof Ordinary... Have never seen a WD in a set.

So this means out of a total production.

Ordinary production...20,876,100...ND 17,744,685...WD 3,131,415
 Mint Sets...Unc...............91,684...ND 18,336...WD 73,348
 Mint Sets..Baby Unc........37,348...ND 5,602...WD 31,746

Total....21,005,132........ND...17,470,788...WD 3,236,509

Happy hunting

PNC with narrow date are what PNC collectors chase

[robbiegal]

so - the wide date in the circulation or business strike is actually the scarcer one?
we bought the WD in uncs (just for albums) but we were told that it was a bit of a furphy and nothing all that special ... hum not so eh?
bottom one is the wide date (from the link)

is a PNC a first day cover?

PNCs aren't FDCs you know that Maree

LOL, What the heck is a PNC then?

[Nevol]

Postal Numismatic Cover - ie Like a FDC but has the added attraction of a Coin.

[robbiegal]

confusing

Digging into the "archives" these are the numbers of sales on Ebay for the 1994 uncirculated mint set varieties over the past few years:



A word of caution: I have noticed occasionally (and from personal experience) that Ebay sellers don't necessarily recognise when they are selling a wide date set.

However, overall wide date sets have been well outsold by normal date sets.
