About this coinHistory

Proof output in 1865 held steady at approximately 500 coins even as the Civil War ended. The Mint maintained its annual proof schedule regardless of the broader national situation. The proof 1865 is more available than the extremely rare circulation strike (8,000 coins), but both are scarce pieces within the series.
