But they also produced 4 million half dollars in 1825, and they still had the silver to produce dimes and quarters as well. Given the mintage numbers for all the silver coins during the 1820&#039;s it appears that there just wasn&#039;t a need for many dimes and quarters during 1825 and 1826.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
