At the big Raleigh show a few years ago, one of the presentations was a large (maybe 10,000 coins?) survey of quarters from circulation by date. I...
I agree completely with this statement.
I'd find this line of argument a lot more convincing if these "aesthetic" observations reliably called out the Wisconsin and Wyoming state...
Thanks, that was the piece that was missing for me to enjoy my lunch. :yack:

Melt for $5 gold is $315+, so surely melt for a $2.5 gold is $158. On the other hand, just try finding a quarter eagle for anywhere near melt....
Well, sure he did. It just means that the rest of us will have to do without his posts for the next 999.5 years.
Yes, I see what you did there.
Rolls of quarter eagles are always good. ;) If you're looking to occupy a lot of time while tying up minimal money, cents are probably best. If...
