<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25777105, member: 101855&quot;]The U.S. Mint System only struck cents at the Philadelphia Mint. The first one that was made &quot;out West&quot; was the 1908-S Indian Cent. It makes you wonder how many cents made to the &quot;wild west.&quot; This 1874 was made during the middle of the period. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1645604[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Silver Dollars were the big favorites in the West. The rest of the country didn&#039;t care much for them. Here is an 1878-CC.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1645605[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Gold coins were popular too. This 1876-S twenty dollar gold piece was made a the peak of the period. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1645607[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>By 1886, the West was become civilized. I just finished a book about the Dulton Gang whom the author called &quot;The Last Outlaws.&quot; Most of them were killed on October 5, 1892 when they came up with the crazy idea of robbing two banks at the same time in Coffeyville, Kansas. The towns people saw what was happening and had a shoot out with them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an 1886-S $5 gold coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1645609[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have anything great that is dated 1892 in &quot;celebration&quot; of Dulton Gang demise. Here is an 1892 Indian Cent. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1645611[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
