<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2214560, member: 66&quot;]The mint didn&#039;t have the coins they were out in circulation, but once the content changed in 1834 the older coin were worth more as metal and the old coins were melted down by jewelers and others in order to sell the gold in the market for a profit.&nbsp; While everyone focuses on the &quot;only 3 known&quot; 1822, the other half eagles of that design (with the exception of 1820) also have extremely small numbers known as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
