<p>[QUOTE="USS656, post: 464320, member: 6641"]I would bet they are long out of business and I would also bet their filing cabinets full of records on production rates are long gone to the dump. As far as the numbers go - what difference would it really make, really? I think we have substantiated that the banks existed, that they damaged coins in the way described, and that sometimes collectors find the coins with these marks. Unless there is some real valid point for historic/scientific investigation, that could bring something really useful forward, what's the point? Maybe I missed something? It just read like you were making a mountain out of a interesting mole hill. One of those interesting facts you tuck away in the event you run into a coin like this or a bank like this. It sounded more like - I will not believe this hog wash until we have a complete investigation of the facts and a formal report is written. That was never the intent of the OP and for something this trivial I'm not sure why you would expect it? Hey - it's a dead horse. Time to put the kids to bed...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
