<p>[QUOTE=&quot;raider34, post: 826980, member: 16402&quot;]The original mint statistics for 1895 reported there were 12,880 Morgans struck, 880 proofs and 12,000 business strikes. There are a bunch of theories on the business strikes. Some say the 12,000 was a clerical error, and no coins were struck in 1895, the 12,000 coins being struck late in 1894 and some how wound up on the 1895 reports. Some say the 12,000 coins were struck, but they were all melted in one of the huge coin meltings. And there&#039;s also the theories they were just lost. No way to be sure what theory is right, lol, I like to still think they&#039;re out there somewhere, and someone (preferably me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) will find them someday. </p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, in 1984 ANACS certified a 1895 business strike, it was circulated, and many argued it was a circulated proof (which I believe it turned out to be).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
