HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25026 Posts	Posted 11/22/2023 12:35 pm Very interesting and informative article on changes in US coins resulting from the Coinage Act of 1873. Discusses weight changes, Trade dollars, arrows at date, and date variations. https://coinweek.com/1873-year-of-c...states-mint/ Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by HondoB 11/22/2023 12:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/23/2023 11:04 pm Good article. Some of his opinions have been highly polarizing and controversial in the past, but his numismatic experience and knowledge are top notch. That's okay, though, not everyone has to agree with you all of the time.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 11/24/2023 12:34 pm "That's okay, though, not everyone has to agree with you all of the time." IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
