<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1257329, member: 17919&quot;]I find it interesting that the half dime was reintroduced in 1829 (after a hiatus of 24 years), which was the first year of Jackson&#039;s administration, and that it was produced in large numbers (more than a million in the first year alone). The half dime represented the lowest denomination legal tender coin at the time, and it was low enough in value that it could easily be used in daily commerce by the average person. I also find it interesting that 1.2 million dimes were produced in 1827, which was more than twice the total of 1824-25, and of course 1.2 million more than the 1826 total (of zero). If there was no demand for dimes in 1826, why the huge surge in demand in 1827?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
