Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10044 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 12:20 am Nice find! The 1973 with the large bust was made in small numbers and is a case where they accidentally used the OBV die of the 1872 quarters, I think these were issued in some of the mint sets from that year. I remember in '73 reading that they had found them and KNEW I should have bought one back then. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Post it once, and then link to the original post in other threads. Secondly, there is no need to resurrect a 2012 thread topic https://goccf.com/t/171913&whichpage=2 Report this Post to the Staff
