October 2016 Meeting Highlights


At this month’s meeting, we took an in depth look at the 1840-O Liberty Seated Quarter. Variations in mintmark sizes and locations were pointed out and examples were on site for club members to view.

Also members brought in examples of the new gold Standing Liberty Quarter just released by the U.S. Mint. The gold SLQ commemorates the 1916 design by Hermon MacNeil. MacNeil submitted a militaristic design that showed Liberty on guard against attacks, a design influenced by WWI which was going on in Europe at that time.
