[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 24576225, member: 101855"][USER=13650]@Vess1[/USER] “Why stop at 1964?” You don’t have to stop, but it’s one sign post, where the silver coinage ended, that you can. You can continue. At one time I was at 100% completion on the NGC registry for the half cent through dollar type coin set. They don’t have slots for all the modern quarters.
