<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1499491, member: 68&quot;]There is one thing I might add that&#039;s not widely known.&nbsp; In 1976 the mint came to believe at the last second that they were required to produce 14 million of the 40% unc three piece sets.&nbsp; With time fast running out they were forced to coin these on high speed presses and dump them in 55 gal drums.&nbsp; Very few of these were sold due to the poor quality and most of those sold went almost straight to the melting pot since the mint inadvertantly allowed the sale price to get very close to melt value.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>These were issued in pliofilm without the white stripe and are not often seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bulk were melted in 1982 by the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
