That's about the best I've found. As stated, I can't prove that FDR didn't have a sander or buffer applied to him.

Got this in change a few weeks ago. Seems as honest as they come for 50 years' worth of circulation. They minted close to 2 billion of these, and it seems like they'd mostly all still be fit for circulation, yet I hardly ever see any this old. I suspect people see 196_ and pull them out, even though they're virtually worthless. Heck, I'll probably give this guy a long rest myself.

I'm pretty sure the coin Finn235 posted above is an answer to your question.

I think we managed to hijack this thread and I must offer my apology to jpsned. For what it is worth, I think publius has the best explanation. A combination of a more wear resistant composition plus a higher rate of withdrawal.


No problem--I'm enjoying the discussion!

I see 1965 quarters all the time. Heck, I've seen some 65 and 66 quarters in circulation that could probably even pass for AU.
