1873 Seated Liberty Dollars: Where did they all go?

Where did all of the 1873 Seated Liberty Dollars go?

 

I searched the ENTIRE Heritage archives before finding this one, graded EF-40 "details" by ANACS:

Over 80% of the Heritage examples were problem coins (e.g. graffiti, cleaning, et al). Despite the marks and hits on this one, I found it subjectively to be the VERY BEST of all that Heritage had to offer over the last 10 years for a nice crusty example at EF-40 or lower. Nice, problem-free, original examples are simply NOT available!

 

Does anyone on the board own this coin?

An unknown quantity of 1873 dollars were melted as obsolete after passage of the 1873 Mint Act. This is not a common date such as 1871 or 1872.
