EVillageProwler Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Half Eagle. You could've extended the period to the present, as they were also minted at the West Point mint. EVP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coppercoins-migration Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 They struck dollars at Dahlonega and Charlotte? Not sarcasm, just a question - I don't have a clue one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefperry Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Thanks for the help. It has to be the cent or the 50 cent piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVillageProwler Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Is the gold dollar the same as the silver dollar? Back when our coinage was backed by precious metal content, gold dollar legally wasn't the same as the silver dollar. EVP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercoins-migration Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I can answer definately on the cent..none were ever struck at Dahlonega, Charlotte, Carson City, or New Orleans. A total of 8 US mints...the "C" and "D" (Dahlonega) mints were gold only. Others were "CC", "D" (Denver), "O", "P" (or plain), "S", and "W". Cents have been reported to have been struck at Denver and San Francisco without mint marks (1965-1967) and at West Point without mint marks (1973-1974). Since Charlotte and Dahlonega ONLY struck gold, the answer has to be a gold coin...I'm with EVP on this one, even though I don't know much of anything about gold...I'm sure he knows his stuff.

EVillageProwler Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 That's fine w/ me, 'cuz my only gold dollar is holed. (It is, however, a D-mint.) EVP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefperry Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 It must be the 50 cent piece. Coins weren't struck at Dahlonega, Charlotte, Carson City, or New Orleans in 1793. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefperry Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Oops, and the only circulation coins from 1933 were cents or half dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradedollarnut Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I don't think he meant struck in every year, he meant struck at every mint that has operated during that time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercoins-migration Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Okay, EVP...holed or not...I'll take it. Deal! Oh...did I mention that you shouldn't expect a package in return? I don't have any silver dollars. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithdagen Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 That didn't take too long, EVP. And you're right, I forgot about the modern commems, but was thinking more along the lines of the classic pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithdagen Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 They struck dollars at Dahlonega and Charlotte? Not sarcasm, just a question - I don't have a clue one way or the other. Couple of gold dollars were struck at these branch mints, but they are considered as a separate denomination from the silver dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithdagen Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 I don't think he meant struck in every year, he meant struck at every mint that has operated during that time frame. Correct, because there are no denomiations that have not had some kind of year gap in the mintages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
