Art 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Gosh Art, I'm wondering what the answer to this might be. I'm guessing that wasn't the Art Collection. Hello! Anyone out there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thedeadpoint 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 PS. I've been away for the weekend, that's why I didn't see this thread. I love the idea of a trivia thread! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whohah 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 The Garrett Collection Jay, still in East Texas... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bill 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I have the book sitting on my shelf right next to the Garret collection book. The book never mentions the owner's name who's collection inspired the book, but the owner is mentioned throughout the book and in the References section (his 1975 paper on his complete US collection and his personal correspondence). We do have a sharp member reading this thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Capt-AWACS 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 1965 dated 1964? Ciao, AWACS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedeadpoint 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yes! It's true (according to Wikipedia)! Johnson ordered for Peace Dollar production in 1965 but have them dated 1964 so they could remain in silver! your turn, AWACS! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capt-AWACS 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hmm, I'm not good at such things (better at answering than asking) but I'll try How many bilingual coins has the US mint produced for the US marketplace? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedeadpoint 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Well, all coins with E Pluribus Unum. I think the Alabama SQ has Braille. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capt-AWACS 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 true, a bit of a trick question. Nearly all of them have Latin in the form of "E Plurbus Unum" As for other languages, several territorial quarters have native languages like Spanish on the Puerto Rico quarter. What prompted me was while waiting to be a new unc set at the US Mint shop at Washington Union Station a woman came up asking for the "US coin in Spanish". The guy had no idea and with my help they figured out it was the Puerto Rico quarter and they bought a few proof sets. Next question, which US coins have the dollar sign "$" on them? Ciao, AWACS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottO 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 which US coins have the $ sign? just the $1 dollar unless there was an obscure half somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Art 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I believe it was actually the SAC in 2000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedeadpoint 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I believe its the new-fangled pres. dollars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Art 0 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I believe its the new-fangled pres. dollars. I think you're correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capt-AWACS 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Actually I believe it was the 100$ platinum eagle coins which began their mint run in 1997. At least that was my answer when I posed the question. As for circulating, I think it is the remodeled Sac dollars as noted above. Ciao, AWACS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedeadpoint 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Ok. You get to go again, Captn! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capt-AWACS 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 hmmm, what year saw the most varied designs of US mint made coinage for US circulation (i.e. not counting non circulating commems or bullion)? Ciao, AWACS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
