Popular Post GBrad Posted August 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2021 Here's my newest acquistion. This has now been deemed "THE BOB ROSS QUARTER".... My young daughter picked it up off my truck console after school last week (yes.... I'm guilty of looking at coins while I'm sitting in the long car line waiting to pick up my little sweetheart each day) she looks at it and without hesitation she immediately said, "Look daddy..... they put Bob Ross on the back of a Quarter...". I couldn't help but agree with the resemblance, and her young mindset, (no disrespect meant to the figure depicted on the reverse) and I laughed myself to tears. I do keep any and all ATB quarters that have horses on the reverse for her. She LOVES horses. Just thought I'd share such an innocent moment from daddy's little girl.

Most of them that I see usually have that all brown look to them and this one has a little pizzazz. The N stands for Newcomb varieties. Similar to Overton numbers for Bust halves.

Way outside of my pay grade, and knowledge of coins, but I love your newly acquired coin. I have just barely graduated from Lincolns, trying to work my way into Morgans (help me Lord), and then maybe.... just maybe... I can start learning about coins such as this. However, @VKurtB forced me to expand my verbiage by his use of "genuflect". At least I have that going for me in that I expanded my verbiagecal skill set. (and no, 'vercbiagecal' is not a form of the word but it sounded good and you get the point). Often when I'm walking by a window and catch a glimpse of my genuflection, I'm reminded of the vexing of the verbose... rrantique and GBrad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBrad Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Don't know why (impulse buy I suppose) but I just ordered a 2020-S $1 Silver Eagle PCGS MS70, one of the emergency issues minted in San Fran. I think since buying my first ever slabbed coin, a 2000 $1 ASE a month or so ago, and then a few Morgans I shared previously, I have turned into a silver "coinoisseur" (you get it?? coin-oisseur....ok... I hear the gong on that one) but I will NEVER leave my beloved Linc's behind!!!!!! Just another chapter in my life I suppose. I know they are bullion coins but hey, I'm loving these silver coins and I really think they are quite beautiful. RonnieR131 and Coinbuf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Unsolicited editorial comment... What you refer to as a 2020-S is actually a 2020-(S). I know. I know. But when you receive it and look at the label, that is what's going to be on it. Probably one of the few instances in numismatic history when the use of parentheses have never been more important and collectors will buy a coin strictly for the label.] 🐓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes….. you got me on this one QA…. I had a dream last night (or was it a nightmare) about this same issue and that Quintus Arius himself would politely correct my incompetence regarding this typographical error or should I say, “A lack thereof”? The S should have definitely been in parentheses! No questions asked or disagreement imposed. I knew this when I posted but failed to do so. Good catch QA!!
