<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cerdsalicious, post: 844815, member: 22135&quot;]Possibly but I am a theorist on this. And this idea is a little off the beaten path. Now this extended family I have purchased the bags off of, used to have had family members working in the mints from the mid 1840&#039;s until today. Its like the family job. And while they fight with one another, they seem to hoard coins, specifically that are rare. Now are these coins fake? No, theyre not, did they get these coins from circulation? Unlikely.</p><p>So I assume they have had a side business in hoarding these coins. It isnt coincidental that most of their morgan bags are CC, and S. I think that during the late 1850&#039;s when the coin was selling at $2 in auction which is 200x face, someone at the mint used the old die, to print smaller but consistent numbers of the 1856. Now I tink this since I have read 2 of the biggest collectors who both had about 1200 pieces at one point found them all in circulation. I ifnd it hard to believe congressmen would throw these coins away, or rpoofs were thrown away at face value after paying up to 200x face.I think they were sold VIA the blackmarket from a mint employee or employees, and that shwy so many were in circulation, or found in ciruclation, I guess finding them in circulation owudl be much harder and couldnt represent most of the population. So when they say they remember a person theyre having a fued with, inheirit a $25 bag, I am inclined to believe them, they&#039;ve been spot on so far.</p><p>So Its just a waiting game at this point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
