Not I, but I did get to see the unique 1964 clad quarter.
SMS's are essentially mint set coins struck by proof dies. This same process was used for later mint sets except few of the dies were...
It's difficult but not impossible to silver plate the surfaces but not the edge. I don't know what it might sound like but with the right...
I prefer coins made to be used but to each his own. The 1804 dollar was an early NCLT piece yet fetches millions of dollars. Collector...
Thanks for the info. I had just assumed that they used Turkish coins since they aren't listed by Krause. In this case I agree with Krause....
Twenty years ago there wasn't a single clad quarter on the PCGS pop reports. Ten years ago mint state clads had only just started getting...
There's always been some hype in the market and it did seem to pick up in 1986. This was probably because coin sellers now had what they...

Really!?! My luck with quality of Indian proof sets must be exceedingly good. I can't seem to find the '69 set with a superb or even choice...

If you want a challenge there are a couple varieties that are tough. There's an '81 set with a type "d" reverse quarter. This is most easily...

This is about the same answer for GDJMSP so will kind of combine them. The mint is not cranking out 1969 quarters or 1976 Ikes any longer....
