@Chas Barber
“.. the dollar has a left handed bolt actoin Rifle, not alot of those were used I would guess?..”

Yeah would be pretty rare I’d guess, too. How many % of a population is left handed? One would think during that time period the military would have the soldier learn how to shoot/handle right handed rather than giving him a left handed rifle if they even had those in stock, that is .. not to mention the additional cost of having to specially make left handed rifles and keeping them in separate inventory ..

Very interesting….
If it wasn’t for the Medals, the silver dollar would have been a near bust.
I’m not sure these numbers will change much going forward, unless the “As Seen on TV” coin hustlers decide there is profit to be got here.
Thanks Mike for the updated #’s and breakdowns!

The medals goo$ed the sales #’s 72,5oo Proofs! wow 25k solo! Huge #s based on the latest mint sales #s of ’17 etc., don’t know if it will pass the Baseball HOF 131,924 for the uncirculated version and 268,076 for the proof version but we’ll see, alot of WW1 Vets must have popped up & bought, or their kids, ooops their grandkids… or the artist`s family

Tinto interesting… WW1 was years of Generals sitting behind door or maps ordering tens of thousands of young men to march into machine gun fire or poison gas, many would flee but most walked into death, disfigurement or blistered lungs. Old soldiers meeting 20th Century military tech, it was not pretty, only time & more tech Tanks, planes & the US joining moved the lines. it’s actually a rare picture, the dollar has a left handed bolt actoin Rifle, not alot of those were used I would guess?
