<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 26048052, member: 13650&quot;]Yeah, was going to mention, I posted a thread here last year and someone added the 1815 and 1816 mint report discussing quarter production, (or lack there of) in 1815.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Was very interesting.&nbsp; In 1816 they only made 2 million large cents and a small batch of additional halves and quarters produced in 1815, showed up on the 1816 report.&nbsp;&nbsp; 89,235 quarters minted, with the mintages showing up on two separate years to obtain that final number. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1815 was the first year of the capped bust quarter and they weren&#039;t planning on making any until someone who sent some silver in from Lousiana specifically requested it be made into quarter dollars.&nbsp;&nbsp; They finally accepted and did it.&nbsp; Then no more quarters were made until three years later.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I like these reports from the 60s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
