After you're done searching, I'd love to know where you're finding these old coins. Those coins had to have been lost a half-century ago or...
Exactly. The "rarities" and bonus W's have boosted sales so they will continue. I consider them contrived, boring and expensive so I don't play....
Nice 42-over-1! Always a cool coin. Back in the early '80s, I bought one from an advertiser in Coin World - it was one of my first big...
I have stated it here before but the mint's marketing department is working overtime to figure out how to boost ever-declining sales. This...

Another great write up. I was surprised to learn that pay phones were a thing in 1916.
A complete set of Barber halves in any grade is an accomplishment. Got any pictures you could post?
Maybe in 50 years "shoe box toning" will be a thing and the world will have us to thank. ;)
I agree with Inspector43, great look. Barbers don't always get a lot of love but they wear so well that circulated coins still look great. Are you...
Nice find! I've never seen a W quarter for real. So if I took my punch set and started punching W's into regular quarters, would it be wrong? ;)
