<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2325316, member: 1765&quot;]Not really.&nbsp; There is record of 12,000 having been struck.&nbsp; If I read it right, the Assay Commission report for 1895 shows 10 coins having been submitted for testing, one of which was received in December.&nbsp; Proofs were made to order for collectors and wouldn&#039;t have been sent to the Assay Commission.&nbsp; The most plausible explanation is that all 12 bags of the 1895 business strike Morgans that weren&#039;t really needed for circulation were lost as a result of the Pittman Act and eventually recoined into 1921-28 dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
