The problem is that the laws were changed multiple times to allow certain things to happen. The Coinage Act of 1965 outlaws the minting of any...
The 3rd coin looks better than any that you have posted as far as marks and strike. The only question I have from these photos is about luster...
So did everyone else, Jeff
no expert on these, but it looks good. I expected to see a polished coin, but this one looks like a proof. The rims looks pretty square. Let's...
We already make a silver $1 coin in 3 finishes every year; mint state, burnished, and proof. It’s called the Silver American Eagle. Why do we...
Absolutely! Here’s one that is currently listed on the bay: PCGS 25c 1965 Washington Quarter Transitional on Silver Planchet XF40...
You need to look at the coin again, the OP was incorrect.
The rims just looked a bit square to me. The step detail was good, (which always makes me think proof), and the marks came post-Mint. That said,...
Look at the OP coin, Paul. Is it possible that it’s a diminished (circulated) Proof Coin?

Hold on a second! That’s really rude. I quoted Wikipedia as a simple, easy to reference source. I then quoted the Coin World Almanac when you...
According to the Coin World Almanac 8th Edition pg 480 - “... to discourage hoarding it (public law 89-81 - The Coinage Act of 1965) stipulated...
No, there wasn’t. According to Wikipedia: Section 101 of The Coinage Act of 1965 authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to issue dimes,...
The Coinage Act of 1965 is the legislation.
1790s???
No, that was a 1970-D.
PCGS priceguide lists it at $17, and I think that’s a bit high. The coin’s value will depend on many factors. Pictures would also be helpful if...
My apologies for the first set of pics. I didn’t look at them closely enough. These pics show the underlying luster which is what sets these coins...
Here’s one I pulled from a dealer’s junk box: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I could be wrong, but I see 1913, this makes it a Type II and the S Mint which is a key date and worth a few bucks.
