<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 674610, member: 112&quot;]Mark my point is this. There are what, 880 known Proofs ? And mintage records show that there should be 12,000 business strikes - all for the 1895 Morgan. But nobody has ever seen one of those business strikes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you and I both know that there have been many articles written where it is beleived that 1 of 4 things happened- either the mint records are screwed up and there were no business strikes made, and all the coins were Proofs. Or - the mint records were screwed up and no Proofs were made, but that we have 12,880 business strikes out there which are very Proof Like. Or - the 12,000 business strikes were melted and that&#039;s why we never see any. Or - the 12,000 business strikes were never made to begin with and all we&#039;ve ever had were those 880 Proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, to the best of my knowledge, there is no definitive proof that any of those 4 possibilities is true.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thus, perhaps the 1895 Morgan should be included in the business strike set. Note, I only said perhaps because I certainly can&#039;t prove any of those 4. Can you ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
