About this coinHistory

Proof production reached approximately 1,000 coins in 1860. The rising output in the Type III era reflects a growing and increasingly organized collector market in the years just before the Civil War. Proof sets were available by mail order, and the Mint had a predictable annual production schedule that served collectors across the country.
