<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2744084, member: 69760&quot;]Also, this - in 1893 at the US Mint in Philadelphia, 21 proof dies were manufactured, and 2 hubs each of the Columbian coins. I don&#039;t know what the number of proof dies are for each coin, but I&#039;d think 1 or 2 at most, right?? (1892 had 24 total proof dies)</p><p><br /></p><p>There were only 9 regular issue coins, from 1 cent to $20 gold, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s 18 proof dies for 9 coins. There&#039;s 3 extra to spare, 2 of which can be for the Columbians, right? If someone knows if only 2 proof dies were issued for each denomination, then by process of deduction and barring any extraordinary situations, the Columbian coins may have had proof dies. It&#039;s not sufficient evidence, but it&#039;s consistent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I can submit this along with the Columbian half and quarter.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]627035[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
