CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 10/19/2012 5:22 pm Very nice set and an excellent price. Issue was $150. Each coin has a little over 1/4 oz (0.277 tr) so there is about 50 dollars just in silver content. I find the coins in hand are almost too detailed. You really need to study them to appreciate the subtleties so you can easily do yourself a disservice by taking only a quick glance. There is a lot of history in that maroon box.

stud722 Pillar of the Community United States 1088 Posts	Posted 10/19/2012 11:04 pm I just picked up a 2005 Veteran Quarter from my local coin shop. I was surprised that I saw this topic when I looked at the forum. I know my find is not as "cool" as yours, but it is a start! Report this Post to the Staff

kenney Valued Member Canada 316 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 07:40 am @CC: you're right about the details,the backgrounds, the uniforms, the tank, it's very well done. @Ksimm3 and Commems: you won't be disappointed if you buy this set. @stud722: 2005 quarters are nice. I keep all the 2005 Poppy 25 cent and the 2005 veterans 25 cent I find. I always try to get military related coins that I see. @tocoins: the lighting on the coin came out great, like a storm coming behind it or the lights of battle. When I bought it, I went stray to the computer to look up u-boat's K676 history. Report this Post to the Staff
