<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3919970, member: 66"]If they did then we couldn't afford them. They only made between 300 and 400K of them and most of those have been lost over the years to wear, loss, or being melted down for the copper in them. (After the copper panic of 1790 they were worth more as metal than as money.) If every US collector wanted one there wouldn't be close to enough to go around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
