I just got 3 rolls of Mayflower quarters. So I will get one for the album and toss the rest back. I realize they are going for a premium now, but I really have no outlet to sell, and eventually when the market is flooded they will come down to face value. I will wait a little to open them as I still have not seen 1 single Stacy Park Millbern or Althea Gibson from last year.
I got one of the quarters...my thoughts... 1) unclear at first glance which side is the obverse/reverse 2) 4 sets of designer initials??? One of which is the same as the mint mark! 4 designers - really? Which set is the kid with the crayolas? 3) 2 is my limit on the number of thoughts I can have on Thursdays.
That’s funny. Remember they changed the Cent design because they thought it inappropriate that Victory D Brenner displayed his initials so prominently……. Now coins are like movies and everyone involved has to be recognized.
Bonus thoughts... I count 7 different fonts? Did I get that right? I finally held the coin at just the right angle and noticed the word LIBERTY hiding in the waves and the 1776-2026 date hiding on Johnny Pilgrim's belt.
I still think the mint should go back to engraved designs and get away from the computer designs. But that won’t happen.
Here is a few of better ones that I got from rolls. Denver did a great job with the dimes and Philly were a bit marked up. The Philly dollars were pretty nice, but the Denver dollars were atrocious. Regards, Mike.
