NewEra Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) Hello, can someone plese help me identify where this particular coin was minted? I am aware of the damage caused by the circulation of this coin. I am not intrested in weither its valueable or not. I am nowhere close to that level of the game. I have a five-year-old nonverbal daughter with autism that is fasinated with coins. Edited August 30 by NewEra Photo added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 A "D" mintmark on a 1972 quarter or any other U.S. coin dated 1906 or after indicates that the coin was minted at the branch U.S. Mint located in Denver, Colorado. This is a common coin with a reported mintage of 311,067,032. powermad5000 and NewEra 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) My friend, take consolation in the fact your question on this Forum is rarely encountered. You expressed no curiosity regarding the colors your daughter found so enchanting, and thus did not post a photo. Was it the copper cladding, or something on its surface? Most remarkable, you expressed no interest in the value of the coin and palmed off a possible ERROR, as mere damage. On this Forum, it seems most of the inquisitive seekers of knowledge are absolutely convinced their coin displays an error and are blinded by all the dollar bills in their eyes. You have a great future in this hobby and your daughter is very fortunate to have a father who made inquiry on her behalf. Tou are a truly exceptional father. My only regret is I do not have a coin with psychedelic toning to send to you to give to your little one. May God bless you both!

powermad5000 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Hello and as your query was answered, I am simply wondering what other coins your daughter has expressed a liking to, or is it any of the modern coins currently made? NewEra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NewEra Posted August 30 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 30 My daughter loves all the coins. She has to have them, whether we're at the store, doing laundry, or vending machines. I am starting to feel like a hoarder. I initially bought her a small piggy bank, and now I'm sitting here staring at a 5-gallon—water jug full of change. She is nonverbal but brilliant, and the best part is that I get to be her mom. However, staring at her jug, I realized the one thing she loves the most, which I know nothing about.

You can also look into inexpensive world coins, many have beautiful designs that may intrigue her. RonnieR131 and NewEra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent suggestion. Take her to a coin shop, and let her look through the dealer's box/bowl of world coins. Most shops have them, and I have seen them range anywhere from a dollar apiece down to six for a dollar. If I run across a coin shop somewhere when I'm with my wife, that's what she likes to do while I am talking coins or looking through the dealer's selection. She goes through the bin, picks out the ones with designs that she likes, and gets however many she can get for a couple of bucks. powermad5000 and NewEra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 That is great!!! The world coin suggestion was excellent too! Also, if you have a local coin shop, or just want to shop for one on eBay, I am sure she would be fascinated by the look of an ultra cameo proof. Maybe a half dollar one. You can get an older one such as a 1995 Kennedy Half Dollar proof for less than $10. NewEra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clad was not run up much at all. powermad5000 and NewEra 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
