In early September, the U.S. Mint began selling bags and rolls of Semiquincentennial one-dollar coins.
Similar to the preceding 1890 and 1891, this issue has a relatively moderate mintage making it an affordable type coin. There were 2,745 originally struck of which most have survived. Common without cameo designations except for the finest of gems. Cameo coins are slightly scarcer with deep cameos being very rare.
