The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 51, December 10, 2000, Article 9

In response to Paul Hybert's request, Bill Bird sends this interesting piece of detective work:

"My 1886 Mint Report also has the same blob on page 72. Obviously an error at the printer's. However, I converted the Swedish currency to the US value at that time and came up with the missing number. The answer is $78,281."
