I think this is correct. In recent years, the mint has pushed to become more efficient, and I think this type of production, a sort of...
Yes, I really want to agree, too. But I know when I get one I haven't seen before, I'll throw it in a desk drawer. Then when I have 5 or 6, I'll...
Wow, thanks to everyone for the overwhelming response! I've been reading the forum and browsing the auction sites for a while now but when I saw...
Yes, I fear you are correct. :)
I've always been a collector of U.S. coins, dimes in particular. But I enjoy reading the ancient forums here, and I have learned a lot. History is...

Like most things, it's really just supply and demand. It sounds like you understand how proofs were traditionally brightly polished, well-struck...
Welcome to CT! This is an 8-year-old thread so it would be best to start a new thread for your coin. Once you post your text, click the button...
I only have a couple, the nicest one is in my Capital holder. This thread reminds me how I love the one with rays, I need to get me one :happy:...

PROS: They're largely ignored, so they'll be an interesting novelty when they are no longer minted. Easily affordable in high grades. Interesting...
I'll chime in and say I've happily bought items on USA Coinbook and likely will again if something pops up that catches my eye. Never sold there,...
Thanks, @Hommer, that site is fussy about linking to it's photos but you got yours to work.

I never knew until today that the 1932 quarter design had to be based upon a sculpture of Washington by French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon....
That's the way the artist, Laura Fraser, created it in 1931. John Flannagan did a similar one that faced the other way. Flannagan's got chosen for...
I have not but the new quarters are being released today.
The new quarters start shipping today, with women on the reverse and George looking the other way on the obverse. You could start putting away...
