1952 & 1953 Superbird Quaters
FrederickMorris replied to FrederickMorris's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
Is this forum always so rude, if so, it's no wonder collecting is dying. I am trying to interest a small group of 20 year olds but these replies would not enlighten them, educate them or inspire them. I will pull the 1953 from the safe and get it under the scope, it is by no means lint. Rev MOrris -
1952 & 1953 Superbird Quaters
FrederickMorris replied to FrederickMorris's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
seems od that they would not be recognized. I have had them for years just never really gave them much thought as I believed them to be known. From my minor research most grading pro's refused to acknowledge them at all for the longest time. Seems strange that as they are aware the coin exists that even today they avoid them?? -
I have read several places that the 1952 and 1953 Superbird quarters that I have always called "superman" quarters" were only found in proof sets. I don't believe that to be the case at all. I have at least 2 1952 superbird coins not from a proof set and 1 1953, I have had them for years, believe we bought them at an auction. I will have to pull them out and get pictures but they are not proof and are not from a set. Has anyone else found the "S" bird on a quarter that wasn't a proof. THank you in advance. Morris

Interesting, if all that is the case, but what if it weren't. What if this additional "I" had somehow slipped in for whatever reason, would it not be of note. Naturally I am totally guessing, but in looking at the other "I" they appear totally the same. Would some who knew the original denominational facts about the letter be able to tell if it had in fact started out as an "L". Here I am totally guessing. I have never seen another coin with a missing L, there has always been so element of the original title to identify, somewhat like the 1955 L penny. It does look clearly like an L but when x-ray and negatives were looked at, one could clearly see that at one time, the D was present but had been reduced to appear like an L but shadow fragments of the D were about to be seen. This is not the case with the "I" on this coin. So leaves me to wonder. Thank you again for the informative information MOrris

from x-ray and negatives, it doesn't appear to ever have had a low part. I had thought we would see an out line in the x-ray or negative but none exist, or that we can see with our scope. Is there any sort of solution we can dip it in that will not harm the coin that might revel more details? I know do not clean, would sending it off to be looked at be worth doing?
