Still a nice example though...   06-30-2007, 06:57 PM   #5 (permalink) Thender Senior Member     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: South Western Iowa Posts: 307 My Mood: I've got an 1888 Morgan that looks like the first one....

It's nice to think of who's hands that coin has passed through rather than a MS example that's sat in a safe or bank or somewhere else for all these years One of my favorite coins in my possession is a circulated 1940-D washington quarter. I liked it so much i just HAD to buy it off ebay for melt. http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic.php?u=11130S5RAi&i=1001086 (the 1941 next to it was found in circulation in change the day i got the 40-D) Last edited by BostonMike; 07-01-2007 at 12:27 AM.   07-01-2007, 12:09 AM   #9 (permalink) Cloudsweeper99 Treasure Hunter     Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 5,234 Very nice circulated coins. I agree with Mike.   07-01-2007, 02:36 AM   #10 (permalink) Coinlover The Coin Collector     Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Festus Missouri Posts: 3,088 i like worn coins. they all have a different story. i have a barber quarter that the date is worn off. all you can see is the head on front, and the eagle on back with a couple stars. i got it for face value from a nice coin dealer that knew i was just starting collecting. he said give me a quarter and he gave me that. its about the thickness of a dime, and has no reeding left. __________________ Star Note Lookup   07-01-2007, 07:53 AM   #11 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,658 Darryl: Also detecting finds? __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!" http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default....wUpcoming_1208   07-01-2007, 08:07 AM   #12 (permalink) Art Numismatist?     Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 896 My Mood: I really like the well worn coins. I don't think that our average coin sees that type of circulation any longer. I think that there are so many being produced that they spend a great deal of their "lives" sitting in bank vaults and not in use.   07-01-2007, 10:36 AM   #13 (permalink) USS656 Darryl - Numismatist     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Steeler Nation Posts: 4,164 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by mrbrklyn She's a Ghost!

Yes the wear on the 40 is also a little spooky - love it - thanks for sharing...   07-01-2007, 10:45 AM   #15 (permalink) USS656 Darryl - Numismatist     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Steeler Nation Posts: 4,164 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Coinlover i like worn coins. they all have a different story. i have a barber quarter that the date is worn off. all you can see is the head on front, and the eagle on back with a couple stars. i got it for face value from a nice coin dealer that knew i was just starting collecting. he said give me a quarter and he gave me that. its about the thickness of a dime, and has no reeding left. Thanks Coinlover - I agree, I don't mind the wear - with coins - I like bright shinny coins straight from the mint or safe but also love a coin that has seen some history - they are examples of our past that cannot be thought of or compared in the same way as a coin that has always been part of a collection or bank hoard.   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
