<p>[QUOTE="Magnus87, post: 3647750, member: 96372"]One thing left unexplained in all this discussion is WHY anyone with silver bullion would want it coined into Trade Dollars @ 420 grains to the dollar when it took only 412&1/2 grains to strike a perfectly spendable ordinary dollar — or only c. 386 grains to have it struck in even-more-spendable minor silver coins. Had the mints stopped accepting specie for coinage from Joe Citizen?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
