About this coinHistory

Proof mintage for 1864 reached approximately 470 coins against a circulation strike figure of 12,000. The proofs now dramatically outpaced business strikes in surviving population terms, continuing the pattern where proofs were the dominant form of the denomination for any collector interested in the series. The 1864 proof is more available than the circulation strike in collectible grades, though both are scarce.
