Edward... you haven’t shown us your fav from your year.

 

1944’s a good year chock full of great designs. Plus, always love me some war nickels and their giant mint marks.

I wish I had thought of posting more choices. I’ve got the 1950 proof set, PDS cents, plus a few 1950 and 50-D nickels.

What the heck - you’ve inspired me.

Proof first...

 

I feel the exact same way!

I have purchased a prestige set for my birth year. Couldn’t help myself. At some point I’ll probably display it, when I stop moving around.

 

Do you mean this one? My photo is one of my first attempts at animation, but I like it.

 

Yes, but more specifically, I was referring to the prestige proof set.

P.S. great photo work on your part!

 

A 1957-D Franklin that was in the International Coin Album I put together for my Boy Scout Coin Collecting Merit Badge. The US page was made up of all the 1957 denominations.

 

Thanks! My set is just the dollar and half, not the full set - which is also pretty cool!

 

1949 s LHS. Hard to find when I was a kid.

 

Actually 2 coins.
In 1941 the proof half dollars came out in 2 varieties: with and without the designer's initials.
As I understand it the Mint polished off (unintentionally) the initials on some of the proof dies.
I'll have to see if I can come up with some pictures.

 

1955 DDO. Like me it was an error. Unlike me it has value.

 

I guess "You don't get no respect!"

Sorry, I couldn't resist given your avatar.

 

1947 Walker for me!

I noticed that most of you have only U.S. coins in your
birth year sets. If any of you would like to add some
Hungarian coins to your collection please let me know.
Just message me with the date(s) plus an address and
I will, free of charge, send you some coins. There won't
be anything rare, just normal for circulation coins. Postage
is free as well. If you have a YN working on a project let
me know. These won't be complete sets, just what I have
collected over the years. Most will be BU, no beaters.
I hope to hear from many of you soon.

 

It just came to me that those two, P and D, were among the four lowest mintages of their decade, while the P mintage of my own, just three years earlier, was one of the two highest.

 

There's also the Native American female scientist/mathematician on one of the latest Sacajawea dollars—although not a "standard issue."

 

1940 wheat, cant show one because I sold it. looking for another.

 

¡Yo Tambien!

 

Your birth year encompassed two years, at least for the quarter, half, and dollar. What is a Washington cent?
