HOMESTEAD NATIONAL MONUMENT QUARTER LAUNCH

As regular readers know, I like to report on the U.S. Mint's new coin launch ceremonies. I guess I wish this had been a regular practice from the beginning of our nations coinage. Wouldn't it be great to have been there to see (and go home with) the first examples of classic coinage? Here are some images and captions the Mint published from the latest launch in little ole Beatrice, Nebraska. -Editor
