<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3126848, member: 19250&quot;]And then there&#039;s the wild card factor....and even though this is just thikng out side the box....since record keeping was poor at best,and perhasp supervision lacking,who&#039;s to say there isn&#039;t another die or die marriage in the mix? I am not saying that but anything is possible. </p><p>Since the mint director was given the 600 proofs, and dies locked up ,it was up to him to release newly minted proofs to buyers,and store the now proof dies in a safe location. And only&nbsp; under his direction as to them being recommissioned to strike mint state coins. It was also his call to melt or offer unsold items to buyers after the year they were coined.</p><p>So 600 proofs minted actual sales&nbsp; 560 and 40 left in inventory&nbsp; those 40 coins offered for sale,or melted to balance his books? Or perhaps placed into circulation? This effected all denominations of seated coinage,not just h-10&#039;s.</p><p>To my thinking when ever looking at seated coins one should pay very close attention to the entire coin,and study it closly. Yes I get it I am a variety collector and you&#039;re not...however again the reason for this thread is awareness of the possibility .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
