Art1.2 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Yeah, it's going to be weird to see the eagle back again. Unless they embark on another project. The special quarters are a real money maker for the Mint and so I would not be surprised to see something else come along. But I too would like to see the return.

ikaros Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'd rather see the commemorative series moved to the half dollar or dollar to encourage their circulation. Certainly the half gives more room for an engraver to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with you Ik but the Mint seems to have given up on the half dollar and the presidential dollars fell out of favor so quickly. Even the Native American Dollars -- a series of designs that I really like and believe others do too, do not circulate. Try to get any dollar coins at a bank recently?

ikaros Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Yes, I did, when I was getting some halves. I got a handful of mixed SBAs, Sacs and Prexys... and two Ikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 The State quarters ran 10 years with 1 year for the territories. The National Parks quarters run 1 issue into 2021. (11.2 years) They would need to find something to fill in the rest of 2021 or return to the origional design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 So.... get ready for America the Beautiful Quarter program phase II. 2010 was the inaugural year for the 56-coin series, with minted coins released at a rate of 5 per year through 2020. This totals 55, leaving just one for the year 2021. However, a stipulation in the America’s Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008, which authorized the series, gives the Secretary of the Treasury the authority to extend the program past 2030. The decision must be made by 2018 (year 9 of the original program), and would create a second run of the quarter dollars operated in the same fashion as the first. So That would take us into 2032.

thedeadpoint Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 They should switch to one a year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'm not sure I want to see it extended. I kinda miss the old eagle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikaros Posted September 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 And I didn't really photograph it all that well -- have I said recently that coin photography is hard? I'll try again some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
