Something tells me someone had that put away for quite a while. Hopefully there grandchild won;t be treated to badly for it:goofer: Regards, Stan
Um, what are you trying to get through to us? That you can find them? That this is a particular good example of one? John
I think like alot of us who find great coins in change or rolls he was showing it off. Nopt bad for a buck i would say :hail: Regards, Stan
There's a different variety for the 99 SBA coin the date is close to the rim that;s the one that is worth a nice premium look for that one in ciculation, Jazzcoins joe
Jazzcoins, Isn't it that the rim is thicker or is it that the date is closer? Oh and if i find one I will let you know Regards, Stan
Yes it;s called wide rim near date variety here is one example. The one to the left is the normal rim the one to the right is the wide rim variety Jazz
Excellent, I just wanted to make sure i was not thinking of a totally diofferent type of coin, a large date instead of a large rim..:thumb: Regards, Stan
great snag I know there was a lot of the SBA made and most still come back to you in change as a Quarter.
That has happened to me a few times to, or when i go to use them as a dollar the cashier thinks it is a quarter, til I point out that is a dollar, lol. Regards, Stan
I thought that was too obvious to need to say. I read a little resentment in posts like that. I pulled it from change a few years back and thought it was a nice example from circulation. Every post doest have to be a $10,0000 beuaty. Maybe you want to see this instead? Good - so now you have a big expensive coin to look at..
Maybe you want to talk about the SBA? The Susan B isn't polished. I've found I have to have a special rule for conversations with you. I limit our conversations to discuss trivialities or coins which value less than ten dollars. Ruben
Sorry, Ruben, I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just confused. You post a circulated common coin with no other comments than the title "1979 from Circulations". To me, it seemed as if you hit the post button without the rest of text. I couldn't figure out what you were trying to get through to us, the readers. If you're posting for yourself, fine. But public forums are for discussions, and I just didn't get it. To me, it was a common coin (I see those fairly often), and not a pristine example at that. If the text was "Look what I got in change; the cashier thought it was a quarter!" then I'd understand the reason for the post. Or if was a comparison between two coins, but it's just the one, circulated, SBA. Sorry, your post just didn't make much sense to me. John
They maybe be common numbers wise, but I haven't been given an SBA in years. I've spent them.... Heck, I've only been handed one silver coin in my life. A Mercury dime. I'm 33 years old and grew up California. We never got cool coins where I grew up. A wheatie was rare. I've never been handed a Kennedy either, kind of sad.:crying:
You haven't been rude, I've just grown a thin skin about this because Hobo is rude. But it is what it is. Its an interesting circulation find. It seems for some discussing nice examples of recently circulated coins which are worthy notoray is just to painful your their snippy view of the hobby. Ruben
