The Panic of 1893 and its Impact upon U.S. Coinage
Bob Bair (2022)
Multi-Media Summary
The "Panic of 1893" was a severe deflationary economic depression that had a crushing impact upon Americans rivaling that of the "Great Depression" of the 1930s. It also greatly reduced demand for U. S. coinage, leading to small mintages of U. S. coinage from 1893-96 and creating numerous scarce "key dates" for today's U. S. coin collector. Speaker: Bob Bair.
