CORNERSTONE COINS

  On the subject of the coins placed in the cornerstone of
  the San Francisco Mint building, Tom DeLorey writes:
  "Strictly as a matter of personal opinion, I think that the
  existence of the officially unreported 1870-S silver dollars,
  half dime and $3 gold piece make it almost a certainty that
  an 1870-S quarter was struck. Why go to the bother of
  creating three otherwise non-existent denominations and
  not create the fourth as well?  These were methodical
  people who very carefully left a paper trail, and bureaucrats
  to boot. Nothing could have stopped them."
