<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 3474595, member: 13650&quot;]With all that was going on in the mid to late 1800s with coinage you&#039;d think more would&#039;ve been saved.&nbsp;&nbsp; Granted I think a Civil war soldier made $5 a month but they still could have saved a lot of those cents and 2 cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I imagine alot of people during that time never got their hands on a 20 cent piece because the mintages were so low and so short lived.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think the 20 cent piece is cool but wasn&#039;t well thought out at the time.&nbsp; &nbsp; As others stated here, the quarters are so close in size and obverse design that it just didn&#039;t make good sense.&nbsp; People want to glance.&nbsp; They don&#039;t want to have to study each coin before they use it.&nbsp; 5 cents was a lot bigger deal back then.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; That 20 cent stamped with 20s is really cool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
