I think it is possible that at this point, already 2 or 3 million coins are "lost", because back in 2009 people toyed around with very large amounts and then just deleted their wallets as they never expected the value to skyrocket at a later time.

See http://statistics.ecdsa.org/, for example. I might be wrong though.

Possible.  I would say that (totally guessing) a minimum of 1 million coins are lost.

Actually: 10,864,575

But then there are even fewer as a result of something like 70% have never moved or have not moved in the past year.  sometihngl ike that.  So there are a number of 50 BTC blocks that exist and haven't moved.  Then there are wallets with hundreds or thousands in a given wallet.
