Roman Numerals? When did the US stop stamping Roman Numerals on gold coins. I got an '87 that has them but my '92's don't have them. Any reasons why they stopped doing this?

Re: Roman Numerals? 1991 was the last year of the roman numerals. I don't know why they stopped, because I liked them better myself. Maybe people complained because they were too lazy to figure them out. :rofl: MT Silver

Yeah, too bad. Probably for the best though as the regime wanted to remove any comparisons to the Romans as they built a worldwide empire of their own. :eek:

Re: Roman Numerals? Does anyone know if they changed the "filler" in the 90% gold coins along the way? My ones with the Roman numerals seem a bit more yellowish than the newer ones that have a darker tone. Could just be reflection and my eyes also since the early ones seem a little shinier.
