ikaros Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Love those Mercs. Great design on such a little surface. I'd say the same of the Seated Libs. One hopes that we are going to pass from the current series to a second Renaissance of American coin designs--we're certainly (over)due for deeply artistic designs again. I'd love to see Lady Liberty restored. Personally, I'm of the opinion that Presidents shouldn't be on regular issue coins anyway, at least not for 100 years after their last term so that their actions and policies can be put in historical perspective. And even then, it's an honor that should be done sparingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Awesome coins! I have a few I'd like to add soon. Esp. a big surprise one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I agree. Commemoratives should be used to honor folks like that. Ditto for currency. I'll further add that I think commemoratives should circulate, or how does John Q. Public know someone's being honored? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarotta Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 1876 cc Definitely the bomb! I mean all the coins are all nice and all that, but the 76 CC, I said, "Uncirculated. Naw, it looks too nice to be uncirculated." It has great detail, all there on the corn, etc., but none of that phony "blast white" of an overdipped tart of a coin. The 76 CC truly stands out as an exemplary collector coin. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isai76 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 The '65 dimes are silver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 65 dimes are not silver. Neither are 1965 quarters. The last silver in those two denominations was 1964. Half dollars were 90 percent silver up through 1964, then had 40% silver through 1970. After that no silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So dimes, quarters and halves from 92 onward from "S" can be either silver or clad. They are almost never found in circulation but ...
