Which of Queen Victoria's children became the next monarch?
Queen Victoria did not pick which child of hers to came after her. Her oldest male child (Albert Edward) automatically became Prince of Wales, and next in line to the throne. Queen Victoria felt that he was not the best choice and probably would have picked one of her other sons over him to be King. She told someone that she hoped that he would die before she did, because she did not want to imagine him as King.She also gave him no responsibilities. Her son Leopold (who was about 15 years younger than Albert Edward) had a key to her box, and once when he found Bertie (Albert Edward's nickname) with it said that it was the key to the Queen's box and not for the Prince of Wales and took it from him.

First you have to locate the mintmark. From 1796 to 1869 all of the quarters were minted in Philadelphia and have no mintmark. From 1840 to early 1916 the mintmark can be found on the reverse [tails] side of the coin under the eagle. From late 1916 to 1930 the mint mark can be found to the left and slightly above the date. From 1932 to 1967 the mintmark can be found on the reverse [tails] side of the coin beneath the wreath under the eagle. From 1968 to present the mintmark can be found on the obverse [heads] side of the coin just to the right of the ribbon in George Washington's hair. No mintmark letter indicates the coin was minted in Philadelphia. The letter "D" indicates the coin was minted in Denver. The letter "S" indicates the coin was minted in San Francisco.
