1965,1965,1965, How I hate thee!

[Rejinx]

I can't believe how many 1965 Quarters there are out there. I bet over half of the 60's Quarters I find are 1965. Sorry, no real point just annoyed by these teasers.

[theo]

I believe 1965 was a high mintage year for both quarters and dimes. Widespread hoarding of the 90% silver coins caused a coin shortage, so the U.S. mint had to scamble to make up the difference.

What you need is a real problem to deal with.

Then, all of a sudden, 1965 quarters are pretty cool.

Ouch, sorry, just figured this was a board about coin sorting, so I figured some people here could relate. However, I must admit have few real problem in my life. I am a lucky man.

[Thogey]

Boy did I ef up!

Sorry Rejinx. I tend to be the class clown.

Should have added the proper emoticon-smiley thing. I didn't mean to be heavy.

So.......

We should assemble an army to kill everyone who authorized so many 65s!

oh , i figured I may have been taking it the wrong way. No problem my new friend.

[DirtyFingers]

There really is a butt-load of 65 quarters still circulating. Over 1.8 billion of them minted - lots of edge wear but they're hanging in there. The gal that cuts my hair lets me take home her coffee can of change to sort from time to time and there's always a handful in the can.

[Robarons]

If 1965 was the last year 90% was made, we would be hating 1966's

Keep that in mind

You'll get used to us in time Rejinx. Some of us tend to have a strong "smart ass" streak. In fact my dear island girl says I'm not only a smart ass, but a sarcastic one at that.

[dakota1955]

I have the same beef with 1964 nickle.

[everything]

Why was it in 65,66, and 67 that their are no mint marks on coins.

not sure if its true, but I once read that this was done so that people didnt hoard them until they built up the populations of clads.

[Rodebaugh]

+1 on that.

My wife says I have gone from being a Smart ass to a bitter old man.... watch out.. it can change in an instant...

[dakota1955]

Yes, but you change back to a nice person?

[Country]

Actually, 1965 was the last year 90% was made. LBJ continued to mint 1964 dated coins in 1965 as the clad minting was not up to speed until late 1965. There was a coin shortage then, but as a poor high-school student graduating that year, I didn't have any money anyway.

[Country]

Why was it in 65,66, and 67 that their are no mint marks on coins.

LBJ decided that there would be no coin shortage due to collector-hoarders. The mintmarks were removed, and no proof coins were minted either. The coin shortage ameliorated by 1968, and mintmarks were put back on ALL coins then.

[Country]

I have the same beef with 1964 nickle.

These were minted in 1965 too. LBJ wanted coins to circulate, so the date was frozen for a good part of 1964.

[amalekidad]

ameliorated??
Dang, every one calls me stupid for hoarding/collecting coins.
But when I get on this real cent place my feelings are ameliorated!

[BamaJoe]

ameliorated

Well, folks, we all know what Santa gave Country for Christmas.

A new dictionary.

Dang Country - have some mercy on us Southern Boys - we aint used to them big words.

Looks like a job for Realcent's Chief translator

Ameliorated: a-meal-or-at-ed /1-2verb/3noun - (1)verb- played out. as in no longer being an issue. (2)verb- lessoned to an extent tolerable. (3)noun- a large snack for a gathering of small fur covered egg laying mammals. Such as a large crayfish peresnted before a gaggle of platypi.

[CU Baker]

Chris, thanks for the edumacation.

[BamaJoe]

Ok, now I'm confused as hell. Just what in the blue blazes does a gathering of small fur covered egg laying mammals have to do with 1965 quarters?

The little island girl says I've had enough to drink this morning, but I going to need another Southern Screwdriver after all this rigamoreroll. In case you Yankees are wondering that's a wonderful mixture of Peach Faygo and Vodka. Sort of feels like battery acid going down, but what a kick.

RC's chief translator does it again! Hail to the Chief!

I hear ya 'Bama. The mental image of a gaggle of platypi converging on one poor little crayfish has me reaching for my old colonial favorite recipe of hard applejack cider on ice!

If you sorted HALVES, you would be okay.
