Re: 1878-S Update Complete

Thanks John, This is a major task that will help us with keeping new VAMers. The 'die set 2' issue has caused me confusion more than once and can lead to frustration for that can turn someone off, What's your next major date/mm to tackle?

Re: A little something about paying out standard silver dollars - after production ended

1905 makes even more sense as no more silver $ being minted, so needed to keep status quo or destroy more paper dollars.
