OK, OK, so I UTTERLY FAILED at the history of the "W" mintmark. I don't collect modern coins. I STILL stand by my statement that that random...
I changed avatars yet again. Am rather flighty this week. But none of that has anything to do with @Chewmassa finding the really nice Wheat cent...
As a matter of fact, I did. Doesn't change the fact that there would be no such thing as a 1990-W quarter, however.
There would be no coin "already struck from West Point" with a "W" mintmark in 1990. That is impossible, without time travel. The first US coin...
Yeah, I hate it when people tell me the truth and I'm not ready to accept it. It sucks.
First of all, what torch? There is no torch on a Washington quarter. Are you referring to the fasces? What is "hsnd"? It is a damaged quarter....
PMD. Roadkill. Has the look of your average "parking lot penny", except it's a quarter rather than a penny.
Actually, there is an entirely different reason behind the new avatar, and I took the picture as an inside joke (more on this later- note the...
The coin posted in the image attachment in Post #5 is clearly a 1943 steel cent. You can even see rust on it. Copper doesn't rust. [IMG]

I can't help you ID the subject, but I will say that is an absolutely gorgeous statue. Nice find!
I like it, but yes, I agree that they should maybe have details-graded it for consistency's sake. Graded the host coin, then separately graded...
Sure, as coins go, it's as common as can be, but yeah... if you found one that roll-searching, then that is indeed a cool find! Nice example.
Dark-haired white guys of a certain age with a mustache, I suppose. According to his profile, he's 11 years older than me, but looks better....
Glad you like It! Glad you've got the CircCam eye.
The Ming Dynasty ended in 1644, so ALL damage done to any coin anywhere since is "post-ming" damage. ;) I just LOVE making fun of other people's...
Per @Stork 's last post, we're at 1945 or Japan. I've played my Japanese stuff already, so I'll do 1945, playing off the first of a pair of hobo...
Ha! I mean, Arrr! Don't I wish! Made some discoveries last week, but not of the buried treasure category, I'm afraid. There is a story there....
