Welcome to Something About Coins! Popular topics on the web right now are about CoinFacts improving their extensive web site, history of the Standing Liberty quarter, and the year of Lincoln.
PCGS CoinFacts, the most comprehensive numismatic database online, has been adding high quality images, narratives, and more features to their web site, according to today's press release. The web site, www.PCGSCoinFacts.com, provides information on nearly 30,000 U.S. coins. A monthly subscription of $9.95 is required if you want access to all of the features.
The Standing Liberty quarter, designed by Hermon A. MacNeil, was featured yesterday on Numismaster.com. The full story of how the classic design was conceived, chosen, and changed was described. Details about the designer, model, varieties, counterfeits, and finally its replacement were also revealed.
Today, Dave Harper from Numismatic News blogs about the year of Lincoln and how time is winding down for the 2009 coins honoring one of our most historic Presidents. It's a short article and reminds us that 2010 is going to bring another new Lincoln cent too and some added excitement.
That's it for now. Enjoy the weekend and see you Monday!
