willieboyd2 Pillar of the Community United States 524 Posts	Posted 08/21/2023 09:51 am From the "Annual Report of the Director of the Mint" for 1950 available on the Newman Numismatic Portal at: https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/341 Page 53, Domestic coins, including assay pieces, withdrawn from monetary use during the calendar year 1949 Below is the column for individual purchases, there is a separate column for coins received from banks. The mints paid face value for the coins including gold coins and Trade dollars. I calculated and added the "number of coins". Denomination, Purchased (face value), Number of coins Gold $3, $15, 5 Gold $1, $30, 30 Silver Trade dollars, $4, 4 Silver 20-cent pieces, (zero) Silver Half Dimes, $0.10, 2 Silver 3-cent pieces, $0.03, 1 Nickel 3-cent pieces, (zero) Copper 1/2-cent pieces, $81.03, 16206 (Somebody had a lot of 1/2 cent pieces) Only worth a dollar? In 1949 yes. https://www.brianrxm.com The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin Coins in Movies Coins on Television Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 08/21/2023 11:24 am Lots of entries of "obsolete" coins being returned to the mint in the records, but I can't recall where I've seen them. Maybe all those Half Cents came from a bank's stash. Sadly I think they all got melted. Report this Post to the Staff
