Why does the Coin Facts web page say this?

90% SILVER PLANCHETS (1946-1964)

A cut-and-paste error from the Roosevelt Dime page?

That would be my guess, too.

Should it read (1932-1964)

 

If this is in error, how do you go about contacting Coin Facts?

 

I looked around for a bit and could find nothing for contact information.

I don't collect quarters, but isn't there a "short set", 1946-1964?. Maybe they just forgot to amend the title.

Mr. Guth,

 

I am e-mailing you today to bring to your attention a possible error on the Coin Facts web site involving the Washington Quarter Dollars.

 

http://www.coinfacts.com/quarter_dollars/washington_quarter_dollars/WashingtonQuarters.htm

 

Under the heading and the images of a 1932 Washington Quarter, the following statement is noted:

 

90% SILVER PLANCHETS (1946-1964)

 

I have asked on a chat room board if there is a reason that these years might hold any special significance, and one possibility is that the years posted might be the silver content information for the Roosevelt Dime series, inadvertently placed on the quarter page.

 

I utilize the CoinFacts.com web site on a regular basis and refer to this excellent site to confirm and to explore and appreciate the depth and scope it delves into coins.

 

Anyway, as a fellow numismatist, I thought I’d bring this to your attention.

 

Respectfully
