My estimate is that approximately 4% to 5% of the mintage was ODV-001, or around 160,000 to 200,000 pieces. I'd guess that 80,000 to 100,000 pieces survive today.
And yes, I know that Breen had a lower estimate. I think he's wrong.

You know where the coins that were lost went, right?
Yup. When the silver price rose to nearly $50 an ounce, I was in line with everyone else with my rolls of junk silver. The guy in front of me had a mail tote full of proof sets. They cut out the dime, quarter, and half and just tossed them in a box with all the other junk silver. He must have had 100 sets. I stood there and watched some pretty obvious cameo proofs go right into the junk pile.

Melted.

Only in DCAM and high grade cameo. Too many extant to ever see real value in common grades.
