<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 5320587, member: 104064&quot;]You mean 1894S, and it&#039;s simply not true. 10 pairs of 1894 working dies were shipped to SF, they were legally authorized to mint these coins for circulation, they fully expected to mint more of them, and it just didn&#039;t happen. Keeping or giving away &quot;hot off the presses&quot; coins, while paying for them to balance the books, was common practice back then. It may have been shady by today&#039;s standards, but don&#039;t conflate it with coins that were never authorized to be released into circulation and thus are forever US govt property.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
