Brian's Bits

A repeat with "News".

       I did this lot + some others on 28th last month - BUT - since then a thought occurred; thus - Brit Silver coins, pre 1920 were; Silver that is.  From 1920 - 1947 they were only 50%  silver, post '47 0%.
(The right hand pair are Obverse & reverse of a run-of-the-mill $0.25)
       With that thought in mind I looked, as you might expect.  I discovered the one on the left end, which I "fiddled" to show both sides was  a:-
"The Standing Liberty quarter is a 25-cent coin that was struck by the  United States Mint from 1916 to 1930.
1920 Standing Liberty Quarter
Good - $50  :  Fine - $80  :  Extremely Fine - $165  :  Uncirculated - $225"
       Whether mine's as good as "Good" however, is open to question.  I also found out that Geo Washington Is now looking the other way, on account of:-
"The right-facing portrait of Washington dates to 2022. Quarters before that showed him facing to the left. The design on the reverse (tails) changes often. This year there are five different designs as part of the American Women Quarters™ Program."
