<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1608234, member: 112&quot;]Conder can probably give you the specifics, or you can look them up, but the value of silver fluctuated up and down a lot during the second half of the 1800&#039;s. So depending where the value was at a given time, sometimes the silver coins held silver worth more than their face value. During these times the coins were hoarded and pulled out of circulation. But during the times when the silver content was worth less than face, some people were reluctant to take the coins and so they were discounted below face.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is that is the probable explanation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
