<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverhouse, post: 1160004, member: 29452&quot;]Thanks everyone for such quick responses. As I said I wasn&#039;t sure about those minting figures, other than the 384,740 for the year coin I have. Also thanks for the advice about proper storage for a coin like this.</p><p>I got that information from coinlink.&nbsp; It states:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>&quot;The total number of eagles minted each year for the first decade was small and not until 1879 did the combined production from all mints in any one year exceed one half million coins. For several years after 1879 eagle mintage exceeded one million coins although for many years the total from individual mints often was less than 100,000 pieces.</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>Liberty Head Motto coins produced from 1866 through 1879 are generally more expensive than those from 1880 through 1907, even at lower grades. Few Mint State and finer coins from this early period have been certified, with near-Gem and finer rare and expensive. Coins dated 1880 and later and relatively affordable up to grades of near-Gem, except for most Carson City and some New Orleans and San Francisco issues which are typically higher priced. Virtually all near-Gem and Gem coins from this period are expensive, as is the 1873 Closed 3 variety.&quot; </i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
