<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 26135632, member: 66"]All of the 1795 plain edge cents would have been struck in 1796. The weight reduction that brought about the plain edge cents was passed in January of 1796 (and backdated into December of 1795) So the plain edge cents wouldn't have been struck until after the weight reduction took place, and the back dating of the order allowed them to explain why there were 1795 cents struck at the lighter weight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
