[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 739603, member: 6229"][FONT=Arial]Do you know what two numismatic achievements T. James Ferrel and Dean McMullen have in common? One thing in common: Both designed a USA commerative Coin. T. James Ferrel, mint sculpter, designed the 1992 copper-nickle Christopher Columbus Quincentenary Half Dollar. 135, 718 Uncirculated coins were struck (for collectors) at the Denver Mint while San Francisco minted a total of 390,255 proofs (for collectors). Photo courtesy of Coin Page and the US Mint: [FONT=Arial][URL]http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2672.html[/URL] Dean McMullen designed the1994 World Cup Tournament Silver Dollar. The United States was selected to host the XV FIFA world Cup playoff game which was the culmination of soccer games among 141 nations. Three coins were minted to celebrate the event: a clad Half Dollar, a silver Dollar, and a gold Half Eagle ($5). 81,698 Uncirculation coins were produced by the Denver Mint while 576,978 proofs were minted by San Francisco. Here's a photo of McMullen's silver Dollar courtesy of Coin Page and Modern Commemoratives: [URL]http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2686.html[/URL] Who won? Brazil won over second place Italy three to two, Sweden fought her way to third place over Bulgaria. The second thing they have in common pertains to the 1993 Bill of Rights Silver Commerative Half Dollar. T. James Ferrel designed the obverse and Dean McMullen designed the reverse of the Bill of Rights Half Dollar. West Point Mint put their "W" mint mark on the reverse of the 173,224 uncirculated Halves they struck. San Francisco placed its "S" mint mark on 559,758 proofs they struck. Here's a photo of the obverse courtesy of Coin World and the US Mint: [URL]http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2630.html[/URL] And here's the reverse: [URL]http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2631.html[/URL] Thought you might want to know...
