Welcome to CT! Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) coins are business strikes that have never entered commerce. They are new, "mint state" coins with...
Apparently they only minted 1,000 and they retailed for $4,000 new, so - as you mentioned - they are hard to find....
$54 for the pair - one proof Apollo 11 and a reverse proof Kennedy.
The mint's created another instant key date Kennedy, with a mintage somewhere under 100,000. Pretty sure it's clad.
Looks like something going on around the reverse rim, through pluribus unum and States of America?
As previously pointed out, the 1980 and 1981 mint sets contained 3 Suzy-B's; P,D and S. They put the S in the Denver set. [ATTACH]
The 1981 (and 1980) mint sets contained a San Francisco mint marked Suzy-B in addition to the usual P and D coins.
Who wouldn't want this staring at them when they woke up in the morning? [ATTACH]
That's funny, the website still shows them on back order until February 28th. Perhaps the web master is doing his update dance as we speak (type)....
I'm guessing it won't be the last. That "news" story is getting covered everywhere.
Well, he actually got it in change spending his lunch money at school. Seventy years ago. He has since died of old age, so the coin is going up...
That must be what the OP is looking for - not a coin, per se, but a medal that checks off the boxes for 'Winged', 'Liberty', 'National Parks' and...
In 2016, the mint issued 3 gold coins with classic designs; 1/10 oz Winged Liberty (Mercury) "dime" 1/4 oz Standing Liberty "quarter" 1/2 oz...
Sounds like a Moonlight Mint project...:eek:
Interesting question. Due to the silver lobby at the time, we probably still would have had the 40% silver issues thru 1970, so those would have...
Interesting story behind that 1920 medal at the top of the thread. I thought the portrait looked a bit *odd*, even for 1920's Germany, so I looked...
Isn't it clever how the mint does that these days?
Nope. It's half of the "Half Dollar Set" . One clad Apollo 11 in proof and one clad Kennedy in reverse proof (a Ydennek Flah). Price hasn't been...
Add some laser frosting, make it higher-relief or whatever... it's still a reverse proof to me. But I'm an old, cynical curmudgeon.
That's a good'un!
