Breen is probably referring to unlimited legal tender status which was granted by the Coinage Act of 1965 (although he is still wrong, there was...
Not sure where you got that idea. But the bust WAS supposed to be a return to Brenners original design and relief. (It was supposed to be a...
From what I see, that would be a good dealer to cherrypick because he doesn't seem to know coins. From the picture I'm 99% sure it isn't a 1990...
Mark is right on that. Back then they were considered to be coins when they were delivered by the coiner. They di not have to be sent to the Fed...

If there is so much coin clogging the Fed that they pretty much still have all the 2009 coins in the vaults still waiting for release, why would...

I don't see the date being on the edge as being a problem because every NA dollar and President dollar is a one year type so there is no question...
Also the last year for the Sac dollar. (2009 was the first year for the Native American Dollar.)
As far as I know there has been no decussion about moving the date back off the edge. It would required legislation in order to move it because...
Redbook. After 35 years I still refer to it. One thing though, you want the book for the information in the FRONT of the book, the grading...
