cc99999 Pillar of the Community United States 1302 Posts	Posted 12/21/2012 5:39 pm I don't know how I kept up with the weekly demands of writing new coin material all year- while working on the Ike book, but I barely did. In Hubert and my second housekeeping column of the year, we catch up on proposed commemorative programs, find another bad coin youtube video, and discuss CladKing's disagreement with our position on common gold I hope you enjoy, god bless, and have a happy holiday! http://www.coinweek.com/commentary/...ter-edition/ Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: The Franklin half dollar is one of a handful of coins that were changed before the statutory 25-year window. Can you name any others? Oh, I can think of one, only because it is always on my mind.

Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 12/21/2012 6:14 pm Ike I don't understand why... JBuck, I think you would like this idea; Stop producing the penny, make the nickel out of plated steel, stop making dollar bills, put a constant Lincoln obverse on the dollar coin, start producing a $5 coin with a classical style Liberty design and make the former Eisenhower dollar the $10 coin!

tpg22 Pillar of the Community United States 919 Posts	Posted 12/21/2012 6:28 pm Great article. Thank you for taking the time to write about Pre33 gold. Over the past month or so I have considered making a purchase, but the price swings in gold make it difficult. To think a 100 year old coin has the same value as one straight from the mint is frustrating. That would be like a MS63 Walking Liberty half valued the same as a silver 2012 Kennedy.

Kellyk Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 12/24/2012 01:12 am I caught the comment about Lincoln's 50 cent piece during the movie Lincoln. I thought that living presidents were not featured on US coins so when I came home, I did a little research and discovered the fractional coinage. I learned a bit about that and then started reading about Civil War which lead to something else,etc. Now I have the rest of the story!! The referred to monies were still not in existence at that time. Report this Post to the Staff
