About this coinHistory
Standard 1869 proof production reached approximately 600 coins, separate from the 9 Over 8 overdate variety. This standard proof is more available than the scarce overdate and serves as the baseline proof entry for 1869 in the series. Collectors building a complete proof trime set need both the standard 1869 and the overdate as separate acquisitions, though the standard version is the more common of the two.
