What dates/mints are known to have exceptionally good strikes? I'm looking for one that has gorgeous eye appeal right now, and "great strike" sure helps in that area. Thanks !!!  |

San Fran mint 1878 to 1882. Beautiful strikes, lots of DMPL's, huge mintages, really cheap for a great coin. That mint really knew what it was doing back then. (Edited for the 12 and under, I didn't think that was offensive, sorry  ) Edited by Becky

 What she said. 1880-1881 seem particularly easy pickings, common and in less demand than the previous two years. |

I agree with the other posters ,, however I'm not sure I would want my 12 year old or for that matter anyone elses 12 year old repeating Becky's comment to anyone ?
The S mint coins are the best bet for what your asking for.

Hi Becky
Thank you for the edit ,, while I was not personally offended by the comment,I have to think about all of the members here ,, and that includes some young and impressionable minds .
I would much rather that they repeat the knowledge that you are so well known for here on the forum .
