<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 8407201, member: 116145"]I love the design I bought both clad proofs and silver proofs on eBay recently. Prices were okay for slabbed graded NGC PF70s I thought - the silver ones were approximately $140 with shipping and the clad ones a hair under $50. I'm glad we've remembered the Isabella quarter - those were sold, along with the more common Columbian Exposition half dollar for said exposition in Chicago in 1893, but they cost the same ($1) so most folks bought the half dollar and a lot of the Isabellas were then melted down leaving 24,212 survivors of the original 40,000 minted. The Isabella quarter was the first US coin featuring a woman (and the first featuring a foreign monarch) and was commissioned by the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. Here are my ladies!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1491330[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1491331[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1491332[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1491333[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1491334[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
