    Hello all. This is my first post, so I hope I'm in the right place.
    I was referred by the US Mint customer service line to check out the above information to find the U.S. Mint catalog's item #'s, as they no longer have them as far back as 2014. I could not find an appropriate link in the National Archives (Group 104), so I thought to ask here. What I am looking for are all the item #'s associated with the 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame commemorative coins, both the half dollar as well as the $1 coins (clad and silver, uncirculated and proof, half dollar and one dollar coins). I know that they are in the B3x range, but I don't know which is which. Can anyone provide a link to where I can locate this information online, or if someone can cut and paste the information from some publication into an email that would be appreciated. Thank you very much!

    You won't find the mint records for Record group 104 on line (at least not much since the early 20th century.) Many of the OLD records can be found on the Newman Numismatic Portal, but for the recent stuff you will most likely have to go to the National Archives personally and request the records. There are also several depositories located around the country and there may be no way of knowing which one any particular record is at. They also aren't indexed well. I know on the early stuff often the researchers often just have to get a box of records and go through them page by page to find out what is in there.

    It is possible newer records may be better indexed. It may be possible to contact the archives and get copies of recent records, but you may still have to go get them in person.

    Appreciate your reply, although I'm not thrilled about the answer. Has anyone come across a list of U.S. Mint item numbers associated with U.S. commemorative coins that they could share? Thanks.
