It's good to see you back Spruett. Quote:
Happy to see you back! ...spruett001 I didn't really go anywhere, but thanks.  I just got bored enough elsewhere that I decided to see what was going on with CCF.  Hopefully, I can participate a little more as long as you guys make the challenges easy!   In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

So let's do the opposite. Post your coins that were the last minted in the given mint. This is a 1908 quarter minted in New Orleans. The mint closed in 1909. This contest is for sovereign coins intended for circulation (so Heaton mint, but not Franklin). Breaks in mintage do not apply, so an 1861 O coin is not the last year. Changes in mint building do not apply. But there are plenty of 18th, 19th, and 20th century mints to choose from. 2020s do not count. In case of a tie, highest current intrinsic value wins.   |

Just to point out that the competition is not limited to US or US operated mints. There are plenty of mints that have ceased production worldwide.
