<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 873531, member: 24633&quot;]It&#039;s interesting to note that in QDB&#039;s Red Book, the estimated population was stated as 125,000 for the 80-CC, and I also noted that production didn&#039;t even begin until the summer of 1880. Apparently, there was a disparity in the fineness of a shipment that was sent to Philadelphia in July, 1880 for testing, and the Carson City Mint was ordered not to pay out any of the 1880-CC&#039;s until further testing was performed in Philadelphia.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since the GSA quantity is higher than QDB&#039;s estimate, I&#039;m wondering if that is the total actual production of the 1880-CC, or were some coins actually paid out by Carson City before the order came from Philadelphia to halt the release. Does anyone know?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
