<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 300022, member: 66&quot;]Although they were dated 1794 all of the 94 half dimes were minted in 1795.&nbsp; And the mintage figures were kept by the number of coins turned over by the coinr to the treasurer.&nbsp; They were not recorded as to what date they were.&nbsp; It is also possible that some 1795 half dimes were made in 1796 as well which would confuse the records even more.&nbsp; The practice of using the dies until they were worn out or failed meant that often the etter of the lw was not observed and coins were struck dates that did NOT match that of the calendar year they were struck in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
