RED BOOK MINTAGE QUESTIONS

  Rusty Goe writes: "Does anyone know why the Redbook's
  mintage figures for 1871 & 1872 are different than Official
  Mint records?

  Quarters:
  1871 - Redbook is 52,072 less than Mint records
  1872 - Redbook is 13,750 higher

  Dimes:
  1871 - Redbook is 154,100 higher than Mint records
  1872 - Redbook is 11,480 higher

  Also, have anyone ever heard why the Redbook lists the
  proof mintages with the business strikes most of the time,
  but occasionally it doesn't include it.  The proof mintages
  are always in parentheses, regardless.  Any help would
  be appreciated."
