As a continuum of THIS thread, what is the least discussed modern coin series or Mint issue?
Clad Proof Sets?
AND the most discussed . . .
At this moment, IMO, it'd have to be the American Silver Eagle! LOL

Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

Most discussed: Silver Eagles!!
79 SBA proof with the clear S, isn't this the one that goes for hundreds?
Off the top of my head, I believe the 81 SBA proof clear S also commands a premium.
Left my Redbook at work.

I was about to say the same thing. There's a little discussion of cents and nickels. Ikes
and even Kennedys get discussed once in a blue moon. The bullion gets a good airing un-
less you collect by date but that's about it!. Other moderns are rarely discussed at all.
It han increased a great deal in six years though.
I'll hope it keeps increasing, CK. I want to thank you for all your great info. While I'm only collecting Jeffs and Kennedys from rolls, your information has made me at least LOOK at dimes and quarters more--enough so that when I get an '82 or '83, I take a good hard look at it. Also realizing what great foresight you've had trying to get good specimens. While all the dates can be found, so many of them are really beat up that it'll be a major challenge for anyone collecting these in the future. Keep up the great posts!

There's a lot of great quality posts about moderns from a lot of posters. There are just precious few posts.
Second, I am amazed that nobody else seems to pay any attention to them. Proof artwork varieties on circulation strikes continued through 1970, 1971 and 1972. In 1973 yet another modified design was used for both proof and business strikes.
<< <i>First, I am amazed that there are 4 design varieties of 1968 S quarter reverses - 2 matching the circulation strikes and 2 specially modified proof only varieties. Then these same 4 varieties show up on 1969 D quarters. I can pick out the 2 varieties that match the proof only in 1968 by touch alone. Now, one of those only shows up in 1969 on the 1969 D.

Part of the problem with these is that there don't seem to be any good pick up points.
I remember staring at these for hours trying to find something different enough to really
nail down and I always failed. This caused me to never be able to keep the different re-
verses straight in my mind. Now it's getting pretty difficult to locate some of these to
look at with all the new information you've provided.
I'm just going to have to sit down and go through the ones I saved and all the literature
and your posts.
I'm jealous that you've got such a big head start on these and want to try to add them to
each of my collections.
I've got some '68 proofs to look at. Any easy pointers?
I accept your challange. It is 2 AM here so will work on it later, but I think it can be done. The differences are subtle between the two circulation strike varieties. 1968 S proof, eh? I guess that rules out my tactile tests. When I finish, you can report back how successful the pick up points are.
I hope you have a large quantity of 1968 S quarters to search through and not all from one production batch.

Sounds great.
The ones on hand are superior pieces from several different sources.
