Depends on what book you are reading. Some are not as good as others, or have older information.... 5 under is acceptable, even more as the number in books are just best guesses or what was reported at the time.


Welcome to the forum; I "merged" your two posts into one (thus why your first post looks different).

Although "rarer" than many other years, you see 1910's more often than say, a 1912 (geo told me this last weekend ); and I picked up a non unit marked one this last weekend myself. Value could be $600-$1500, all depending on condition and originailty.
