Art Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 ANR recently auctioned an 1867 proof set that had spent its early life in the cornerstone of building in Massachussets from 1867 until the 1960s. Beautiful coins, an interesting story, and the price - WOW! http://www.anrcoins.com/lotdetail.aspx?lrid=AN00024683 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were both circulating in those days? Checking the Redbook...the issues overlapped (silver - 1851-1873, nickel - 1865-1889), but... check out the mintages... For silver, from 1865-1873, less than 56,000 total. For nickel, from 1865-1873, about 28 million total. So, yeh, they kept making some of the silvers, but I guess they figured out nobody could find them since they are so small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
