<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3473882, member: 66&quot;]I believe Washington actually signed the legislation authorizing the weight reduction in Jan of 1796, but it was dack dated to December of 1795.&nbsp; The reduced weight coins were already in production before the authorization was signed.&nbsp; The 95 capped bust cnet remained in production during the first part of 96, then the 96 caps began.&nbsp; The 96 draped busts began in July of 96.&nbsp; What I have never been able to understand is why the 96 caps with only about a third of the mintage of the 96 busts, and with many fewer varieties is so much more readily available than the 96 busts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
