These are the coolest ones from a batch of silver that my wife found for me recently.

In total there were the two walkers, three Franklins, 41 1964 kennedys, 12 1965-67 Kennedys, and one clad bicentennial in the three rolls she cracked. One of the rolls was a coin short.

The first Republic coins for general circulation were issued in 1958. I'd guess that the silver coins disappeared from circulation pretty quickly after that, don't really know though. I'd be interested to find out if even the minor coinage continued to circulate. I can't recall having seen a well worn 1944 centavo.

The article is taken (with permission) from the NGC (a coin grading service) series. Not sure why they just did those but feel free to fill in any missing info.

I'm glad I saw this. The US mint report booklet has the 1944-45 5c listed at 21mm instead of 19mm. Another error fixed in my spreadsheet.

Pleased to meet you pauldean. I'm looking for some of the Manilla mint coins. If you have any, please send me a PM.
