Each week, we publish at our website selected content from the print issue of the week’s Coin World as well as content written primarily for the online audience. 

Here are five of our most-read articles from the past week, in reverse order.

5. Mint releases images of 2020-W quarter with privy mark: An older article about the 2020-W America the Beautiful quarter dollars, which will bear a privy mark, continues to draw attention from Coin World readers.

3. Cent, 5-cent coins still unprofitable to produce, ship: It still costs more than face value for the United States Mint to strike and distribute the Lincoln cent and Jefferson 5-cent coin into circulation, the 2019 Annual Report reveals.

2. Monday Morning Brief for Feb. 10 — Another fast sellout!: The Swissmint, Switzerland’s federal mint, on Jan. 23 offered what it calls “the smallest gold coin in the world” — a lilliputian issue that sold out immediately.
