<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Omegaraptor, post: 24552351, member: 76105&quot;]One of the more interesting points of early US Mint history. The US Mint reports a mintage of about 900,000 large cents for 1799. In no place does it mention they were dated 1799, and in reality the vast majority were dated 1798. Most of the Style 2 Hair 1798 large cents were probably struck in 1799-1800, and we really have no way of knowing which shipment had the 1799-dated cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Likewise the 109k mintage for 1796 Caps and 363k for 1796 Busts, yet the latter is the rarer of the two.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
