US Mint - The 2023 United States Mint (Mint) Proof Set will be available for purchase starting at noon EDT on June 20, 2023. The set includes the second series of five coins from the American Women Quarters™ Program, the four-year initiative celebrating the accomplishments and contributions of women who have who have shaped our Nation's history.
The following 10 proof coins from the Mint's San Francisco facility are included in the set:
 Five 2023 American Women Quarters with reverse (tails) designs honoring Bessie Coleman, Edith Kanaka#699;ole, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jovita Idar, and Maria Tallchief. Each coin features a common obverse design depicting a portrait of George Washington. The design was originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser as a candidate entry for the 1932 quarter, which honored the bicentennial of George Washington's birth. Inscriptions are "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "2023."
One Native American $1 Coin with a reverse design that recognizes the contributions of Maria Tallchief and American Indians in ballet. Tallchief and four other American Indian ballerinas from Oklahoma—her younger sister, Marjorie Tallchief; Yvonne Chouteau; Rosella Hightower; and Moscelyne Larkin—achieved international recognition in the 20th century. Celebrated as the "Five Moons," their legacy of achievement and inclusion continues to influence ballet today. A nod to the Five Moons is presented in the lunar motif, while the four ballerinas in the background are symbolic of both Tallchief's American Indian ballerina contemporaries and the generations of dancers they inspired. Inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "MARIA TALLCHIEF," "$1," and "AMERICAN INDIANS IN BALLET." The obverse design retains the central figure, Sacagawea, carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste. Inscriptions are "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST." The year of minting, mint mark, and inscription "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are incused on the edge of the coins.
One Kennedy half dollar
One Roosevelt dime
One Jefferson nickel

A certificate of authenticity is included with each set of coins.

 Posted by CCFPress I am excited to announce the ANA will once again be offering my class on early American copper coins at its annual Summer Seminar. Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the seminar consists of two sessions. Session 1 is June 17-22. Session 2 runs June 24-29. There is a great coin show in between. My class will be session 2.
you can check out the course catalogs here:

this is a tentative class schedule for my EAC class:
its a very hands on class and we treat the schedule as a guideline. we look at a lot of coins and try to focus on the interests of the class.
Coin camp is an amazing experience and something I think everyone who loves coins should experience at least once. Classes of all kinds are offered. If EACs arent your thing you can probably find something else of interest. if you have any questions about the event feel free to send me an email. Posted by CarrsCoins |
