Here's a story from 7.21.2009 about the town of Rhodhiss, North Carolina talking about where the material for the flag planted on the moon in 1969 was made. It does say that, "The colors (for the flag) were made here then sent somewhere else to put the pleats and make the flag," though I highly doubt it was China.

BTW, What was China exporting to US then and before Nixon visited?

 

just kidding krispy. you don't have to proof it. let's go back to subject coin. by the way. which statehood quarter design you like most. for me i like virginia.

 

I personally like the tree on the Connecticut State Quarter reverse the best. It's one of the simplest designs, no clutter, just a beautiful pattern of branches and the form fits the space well too. [picture borrowed from Wikipedia]

 

other statehood quarters that i liked are massachusetts, alaska and texas.

 

Key word is "currently".

 

My second tier likes are Rhode Island and then Puerto Rico.

But Connecticut remains my favorite design in the program.

i like rhode island. but then that coin is lightly struck.

 

I know the view and have seen boats like that there, so I appreciate the design. As for the strike, it's no surprise given the lack of quality for the speed of production the Mint trades off and it's this sort of thing why I don't collect these and other denominations unless in proof or high grade MS state which are carefully made for collectors at a slower rate of production.

 

first year, first set, first strike, or maybe first day of issue. i will order clad proof set on its first day at 12:00 noon. it should be on january 2010. let's say 200 set. krispy, how many sets you plan to buy?.

 

what will be the diameter of new 5 oz. silver bullion?. china panda have 70mm diameter. why not made it UHR 5 oz silver with smaller diameter?.

 

Please pardon me for butting in...I just wanted to say that I recently bought a roll of the Oklahoma silver proofs and they're really beautiful in hand.

 

I understand Iraq has some nice parks.

 

if iraq is in. then kuwait too. maybe future iran.

 

something like that

 

those countries like gold a lot too, maybe they'll start coining some when things are less contentious there. :hail:

 

Has anyone mentioned this - I have not scanned the entire thread yet... Is George Washington going to remain on the obverse or will Teddy Roosevelt replace him?

 

Well, I'm sure you know these details... but for anyone who doesn't yet:

• American the Beautiful Quarter in 5 oz. silver bullion: diameter 3.0" (or 76.2mm) as detailed in the coin legislation, H.R. 6184

• Australian 10 oz. Kookaburra: diameter 75.5mm (or 2.9724409" inches)

Because if it had a smaller diameter than the 2009 gold UHR coin (27mm and 4 mm thick) you're suggested 5 oz. silver UHR would be REALLY thick! Maybe even thick enough to write the history of a park on the edge. LOL!

 

George I believe despite CCAC recommendation.
Check the link to the coin legislation above.

 

so the australian 10 oz silver coin is double the thickness of 5 oz america the beautiful.
