BTW: for those of you that don't know, these are called "waffle coins". I'm about my first (a MO quarter one in a NGC slab for $35) stainless
waffle coin: Sent to outside service for destroying. Waffle; Machine pattern that is used to destroy the coin
Anthony, what did you think was only released on 03... the coin? or the waffle coins? SBAs were released in 79,80,81 and 99. That why it says 1999 BU SBA Waffle.
I was reading a site and it said waffle coins were released to public in 2003..and this was the only time. stainless
Oh, Cool..... wasn't aware of that. I should have known better that you would have known the SBA dates. :headbang:
yeah, I think the site meant they were just cancelled, I guess. I think I will try to put a set of these together...they are pretty cheap right now. stainless
On the contrary, this is the first error coin I have ever seen that actually improved the aesthetic appeal of the original design. The SBA is one of the ugliest coins ever made. This is a huge improvement.
