<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harrync, post: 4747897, member: 58588&quot;]I think with the increased population on the west coast, the cost and inconvenience of shipping came into play. In the late 1800&#039;s, most of the demand for minor coins probably was within a few hundred miles of Philadelphia; by 1900, a considerable per cent of the population was out west. Shipping costs were not insignificant; even in the 1950&#039;s, catalogs would note &quot;Prices higher west of the Rockies.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
