In 1916 the United States Mint changed over from the Barber Quarter to the Liberty Standing Quarter. Unfortunately, the designer used a more European model of Liberty with one of her breasts exposed. It caused a scandal and uproar. After all, you couldn’t have bare breasts being shown on your coins. After all, no one had ever seen a bare breast, unless they were feeding their child or you had seen classical sculpture or painting or you had … So in 1917 this design was changed and the offending breast was covered up. The Standing Liberty Quarter was issued until 1930. All of our coins are of the non offending kind, mainly because they are better value. All coins are in Fine condition and it is one of America’s most beautiful silver coins. Dates will be of our choice, but all coins are nice examples in Fine condition and struck in .900 fine Silver.

After the killing of President Kennedy, the United States Half Dollar was changed from Benjamin Franklin to John F. Kennedy. It has continued that way ever since. The American coins are really a gallery of past Presidents, the 1 Cent has Lincoln, 5 Cents Thomas Jefferson, 10 Cent Franklin Roosevelt, 25 Cents George Washington and 50 Cents John F. Kennedy. We offer the complete 1972 United States Proof Set in the plastic display case, as issued by the United States Mint. We sell the Half Dollar on its own £8.95, so we think this set is a of good buy.
