Thanks Robbie, nice set mate :good: and I'm talking about the coins

[Nevol]

wow!! all the usa collectors are OUT tonight!! great to see!
ps
how can you tell which mint they are from?

They all have a Mint Mark on them, either P or D.
It's on the Obv under 'In God We Trust".

[JeffH]

Earlier USA coins had "D" for Denver "S" for San Francisco and Philadelphia didn't have a mark (which was the mintmark, in effect). I think "P" was started being used in the early 1970s.

I didn't mention the 'S' MM, as in the majority of cases they're Proof, but earlier this year someone from CCF told me that some 'S' MM coins were going to be circulated.

I've looked for the email I got about it but can't find it. :dash1:

Got it. The 'S' MM coins going into circulation are the ATB Quarters from 2012 onwards as far as I can ascertain.  The following is copied from an email I rec'd back  in  June 2012

Yeah, everyone's kind of annoyed about them adding S mint circulation quarters partway through the series.

I have 7 with the D and 6 with the P, one thing I find funny with yank coins is that they have a funny looking reeding where half looks like copper

[Goose]

It is copper you see. Our "clad" coins....10c, 25c, & 50 c. The outter layer is 75% copper and 25% nickel (The alloy for our nickel) bonded to an inner core of pure copper. The clad coins are 10.25% lighter than their counterparts of the silver versions (1964 and earlier)

[Coins from Vending]

What are the chances, Today was at an elderly ladies house as thats were I store my vending supplies, I was telling her about my coin errors, and mentioned about values of certain coins, I told her about the wavy 1966 20c peice. She spills open her purse and in it is 1 20c peice, flip it over and its a 1966 20 cent peice??? could it be?? looked at it and no cigar, imagine if it were a wavy 20???

Shes now going to check every 20c peice.

The 1973 50 is that a scarce coin?? or has it a fault??

[ausjack]

No error sorry mate but they are one of the lower mintages http://www.ramint.gov.au/designs/ram-designs/50c.cfm
wish it was UNC, but it's still pretty good.
