    Good luck with a 22200 mintage you may find a proof strike before a ms one.
    Ask @C-B-D

    Agreed an proof would probably be easier and cheaper.

    @fish4uinmd
    Jerry what the reason for that date? Are you putting together a set?
    I do collect these however after 1876 you're better off searching for proofs then Mint state. Example 1877 only 510 proofs were struck. I was lucky to pick up an 1888 only 36,501 were minted .
    I recall a conversation I had with a local dealer. He was telling me that he placed a 1/4 page ad in coin world one time back in the 70's. He was looking for one of the mid 180 ' s dates. He got plenty of replies....not one was a MS coins all were proof or circulated proofs.
    That one going to be a while before it surfaces and when she does....it's going to cost you a lot of tackle. :)

    No set, just a random target for that date...and because it's difficult to find an MS. And after reading your reply, I may have to go with a proof. Thank Paddy.
