Well, I finally graduated from physical therapy school. I decided to treat myself to a little cion shop visit. Goals on this visit in descending priority for me: 1.) 1928 S large mint mark XF Mercury Dime or better-FAILED (dealer melted all lower grade Mercs...sadness.) 2.) 1953 and 1953 S BU Franklin Halves-FAILED (someone came in and bought a huge lot of BU Franklins a week ago and dealer is still trying to recover more samples) 3.) Proof Lincoln Memorial Cents-SUCCESS! I figured I would start working on the proofs and then the harder varieties such as WAMs and CLAMs and upgrades. I bought proofs from 1997-2009, but I won't bore you with the pics. Most know what a proof cent looks like. 4.) 2001 S Sacagewea Dollar-SUCCESS! This is the only one I was missing. I checked on it last year sometime and it was over 30 dollars for one of these! I figured I would hold off. Today, I checked for some reason the dealer had them priced at 19 dollars. Deal! So, snatched one up. For your viewing pleasure: 5.) If all above fails...silver of some sort to celebrate the graduation. I was going to go for the 2011 ASE but dealer was back ordered (yeah, I was sort of striking out today.) I've always wanted to put together a nice somewhat circulated Peace Dollar set. Since I have only one more Merc, two more Frankies, and working on proofs of LMCs I figured I would grab one just for fun. I may have paid a bit much for it, but I just love how Liberty is portrayed and that eagle on the reverse. I can certainly see myself grabbing one each month at the coin store with my new job/pay check. So, here she is. Not a bad day overall. I didn't get what I really wanted, but it worked out all right. Comments and opinions, good or bad are always welcomed. Well, except if they are comments bashing me about how I wasted money on clad proof cents when I could have been buying silver. Some guy looking through a bucket of Morgans already gave me that opinion today, so I would appreciate those to be kept to yourself.

Hey Rickie My wife is finishing up her studies in thereputic massage in September and is always looking for victims...I mean volunteers to train on!
Congrats on Graduating!!! The Peace Dollar has to be one of my favorite coins, if not my favorite. I also like to look at proof coins so I can understand buying them too! Bummer on missing out on your other buys..but..fate.
Wow !!! My son just got his Physical Therapy doctorate from Armstrong Atlantic University on the 7th. You and he certainly pick a good profession to get in to.
