    I know the trime is silver and it will remain. If I get time this weekend I will look for different designs of these coins. I know there is only one style trime and The twenty cent piece would have different mint marks. But, having a twenty cent piece is pretty rare from what I have been told.

    Glad to see this post pop back up today. There is one denomination, if it could be considered a separate denomination from the Nickle is the half dime. Would love to see a 1792 half disme in the line-up!
