[QUOTE="JBK, post: 68226, member: 1101"]I think somewhere I have one in an original package, mentioning the event (not sure). Other than that (or additionally), I can only go by common sense. The facts here make the event pretty obvious - there is no mystery worth pondering. No scanner/photo yet, so no pics. Some dates I have are 74, 76, and 71. The 1960/1985 is on 1985 and 83. I also have a 1984 with a small pic of Lincoln and 1864 stamped. A goldplated half with no stamping has no relation to this subject, and a non-gold coin was either never plated or had the plating polished off. My comment about the dates is that the 1960/1980 stamp appears on coins dated in the 70s and 80s, up to 85, when apparently the 1960/1985 stamping was used. At that point, that updated stamp was used on at least 1985 and prior year coins also.[/QUOTE]
