<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8502611, member: 101855&quot;]Interestingly enough, the 1859-O is one of the more common dates in Mint State. In the early 1960s, a bag or more of them was uncovered when the treasury was paying off people who were making a run on the Treasury&#039;s hoard of silver dollars. Back then you could trade paper dollars for silver dollars. Most every neighborhood bank had them available, and people were going to Washington and getting more. I remember seeing them lined up on the news. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most of those dollars, which are 1859-O and 1860-O, are low end Mint State pieces, and many of them have been cleaned or dipped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
