<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 752487, member: 66&quot;]The venezuela coins were 1876 and 1877 not 1887 and there were no mint contracts for coins or planchets for foreign coins that would have&nbsp; resulted in foreign planchets being in the mint in 1884, and none of the mint contracts in the late 1890&#039;s to 1902 era would have resulted in planchets like those these V nickels are struck on.&nbsp; So if they came for the CT manufacturer they would have had to have been the result of a private contract between Scovill and the foreign country that had nothing to do with the US Mint and the planchets should never have been in the Mint nand would have had to get there by being accidently mixed in with US cent and nickel planchets being made for the mint by Scovill.</p><p><br /></p><p>So are there any records of any private contracts for coins or planchets being made for foreign countryies by Scovil?</p><p><br /></p><p>Another and probably more likely possibility is that the planchet was not for a foreign coin at all but was for a private token since Scovil made a lot of private tokens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
