[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 26122968, member: 4626"]Also no Standing Liberty quarters minted in 1931. (There were no quarters, half dollars, or dollars dated 1975, but they were minted in 1975; they just happen to have the 1776-1976 date and bicentennial designs that were minted from 1975 to 1976.) Walking Liberty half dollars have more gaps than that: none were minted in 1922, 1924-1926, 1930-1932. I put together a set for my grandfather, born in 1924, and there was no half dollar I could put in there. (Years after he passed away and the set was given back to me, I got the 1924 Huguenot commemorative to put in that half dollar slot, the only US half dollar minted in 1924. The empty space was bothering me!) Longest gap in any US coin design was with the Susan B. Anthony dollar, that had none minted from 1982-1998 until they were minted again for the final time in 1999. (This is if you don't count bringing back the Morgan and Peace dollars, or the gold versions of the Mercury dime, Standing Liberty quarter, and Walking Liberty half dollar. But 1999 SBA dollars were actually intended to circulate!)[/QUOTE]
