By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, CDN Editor When I arrived in Philadelphia yesterday for the American Numismatic Association (ANA) World's Fair of Money, it was a surprisingly brisk Tuesday afternoon on the bourse floor at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Sure – it was opening day, so it's going to attract people. And there was certainly a good number of dealers making their rounds with other dealers and getting some early trading action underway. But looking across the floor I saw a good mix of the public coming in and a very diverse demographic – young and old, men and women, and people [...]

Spoiler alert: The Philly Mint did not, in fact, make any 1922 cents, but you probably already knew that! The Denver Mint struck 7,160,000 Lincoln cents in 1922, all intended to carry the “D” [...]
