He's got a SEG....."S**t Eatin' Grin" on his face.......gee, I wonder why?!?!?!? Maybe he got a look under Ms Liberty's dress! LOLOL By the way Darryl, have you been buying a lot of coins lately, or are you just posting pictures of your collection? Just wondering because you have been posting some pretty "neat" looking coins! Great pictures, AND some very interesting coins! Thanks! swick Last edited by swick; 07-01-2007 at 02:46 PM.   07-01-2007, 02:44 PM   #3 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 17,759 Darryl: Post mint ding.

Glad you like the group - I didn't have anything like most of these in my collection - so they will be interesting to study and read about.

Yes it's Lady Liberty, a female. Now I won't add anything else to that.

Just goes to show how little I know - now I will have to try and find info on the design and how the artist came to choose it. OK - now I have no idea why she is smiling. Maybe she just likes her new home...   07-01-2007, 05:44 PM   #10 (permalink) USS656 Darryl - Numismatist     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Steeler Nation Posts: 4,617 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by mark_h You are posting a nice variety of coins.

Glad you liked them - I am very happy with these and look forward to getting more down the road. It would really be nice to get an example of every US coin minted from 1800 to present.   07-02-2007, 06:55 AM   #11 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 17,759 Quote: Originally Posted by USS656 Thanks Mark - Afraid I have posted all of the new ones that came in.

Now Frank - when a good deal comes along you cannot tell the seller - I'm sorry I cannot buy your coins because I haven't bought the book yet. This was not an eBay purchase but a private seller. I don't get many opportunities where people approach me to buy their coins. It was a very small investment where I really could not get hurt. It is also nice to take a new book and apply the info within against a couple inexpensive examples.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
