<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1777188, member: 66&quot;]The designs you see on the coins are the designs as they were when approved.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And the Cleveland News may have printed such a story, but if they did they were wrong.&nbsp; The Small O in oF was how Gasparro designed the coin and how it was made for the entire fifty years of production.&nbsp; There was never any order not to issue the 59&#039;s, and they have never been higher priced or &quot;valuable&quot;.&nbsp; It is just that people just suddenly notice something they haven&#039;t noticed before and create&nbsp; theories or stories about it.&nbsp; Often falsely saying they will be recalled and will become valuable.&nbsp; For example when the first of the redesigned 20 dollar notes came out in 1998 there were a lot of stories about how they were going to be recalled because they had the wrong date on them.&nbsp; They had Series 1996 on them.&nbsp; Of course they has Series 1996 because that was the year the series was authorized.&nbsp; Also they made a big deal over the oF on the cent, but never noticed that the Franklin Half had had the same thing since 1948.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
