<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 1960573, member: 7638&quot;]Yankee42, that is a very attractive 59-O dollar.&nbsp;&nbsp; Bowers writes (I&#039;m extracting and paraphrasing) that many of these were minted for export to China, but they were also saved in quantity here. After 1873, when the intrinsic value of the silver in the coin was less than the face value, more found their way into circulation.&nbsp; So, circulated specimens are found with some frequency.&nbsp; Most of the ones sent to the orient were apparently melted.&nbsp; During the Treasury releases of 1962-64, 3000 mint state coins were sold.&nbsp; Most of them are very baggy, according to Bowers hardly any of them grade higher than MS62.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
