Proof production in 1861 matched the previous year at approximately 1,000 coins. The Mint kept its proof program running through the outbreak of the Civil War in April 1861, serving a collector market that did not collapse with the onset of hostilities. Proof operations were insulated from the wartime disruptions that affected circulation coinage, and proof sets continued to ship to customers throughout the conflict.
