Proof mintage dropped to approximately 550 coins in 1862. The lower output compared to 1860 and 1861 may reflect wartime disruptions to the collector market, mail service, or simply reduced demand in a year of national crisis. The proof is collected within the Type III sequence and carries pricing appropriate to its scarcity.
