"...According to some sources, more than 75% of all silver coins (excluding the three pence and 2½ cents) minted between 1923 and 1964 were smelted around half a century ago. Unfortunately, only the figures of the total number of coins smelted from this time are available, and we don’t know (and may never find out) the precise number of coins smelted for each year and/or denomination.  However, if the above statistics are anything to go by, and knowing that an estimated 75% of all Union coins have been smelted, you would be wise to keep your eyes open for any particularly fine, graded specimens that come up for private sale or auction"  - So you can't rely on mintage fugures alone for these union coins as many were smelted !
