NNP: JOHN FROST SPEAKS ON 20-CENT PIECES

Recently added to Newman Portal is a video of the Liberty Seated Collectors Club (LSCC) Zoom meeting held May 11. Most clubs are seeing increased meeting attendance with virtual formats, and the LSCC is no exception, drawing over fifty attendees to this meeting.

With one-click recording, the preservation of this content is simple, and LSCC has elected to share meeting videos externally. This event featured John Frost speaking on 20-cent pieces, all the way from the related legislation to the cataloging and collectability of interesting varieties. Frost, and Lane Brunner, are the authors of the standard work on the series, Double Dimes: The United States Twenty-cent Piece.

Images: 1875-CC 20-cent reverse die from the Nevada State Museum excavation. The year can be determined from mintmark placement and die cracks. Also pictured are closeups of a coin struck from this die, along with a reverse closeup of the same portion of the die.
