    This is a wall-hanging I put together and sent to the Old Man in Florida. It’s a cool 1958-60 banknote set from Israel. Interesting to note at least several security features that wouldn’t make an appearance on US currency until the 1990’s. upload_2023-2-6_21-57-9.jpeg upload_2023-2-6_21-57-9.jpeg

    Every once in a while my LCS has something different and unusual for me.

    I don't collect errors but that is pretty cool.

    Holey coins are not something that I look at much, but when I saw this 1835 one quarter anna, East India Company in a LCS junk box a couple of years ago, I couldn't resist.

    While technically not numismatic I guess, I had to post this, I bought these over time with the plan on making this wall-hanging. We’re Jewish, and I thought this would make a great gift for The Old Man. So I gathered the sheets, brought them to the frame store and they assembled this with archival glass: 60061326-5D1F-4209-B6B8-90AA15A013D6.jpeg these are full sheets of an emergency interim stamp in Israel. The Nation was new and a Post Office had yet to be fully established, 1948.

    Button, is the first thought. Could have been a “whizzer” or whirligig toy, too, though.

    Since I’m eclectic and all over the map and dabble in a little bit of everything, there’s probably not much I could post that would surprise you.

    I will note, however, that my interest in modern US coins is quite slim. Not nonexistent, but slim.

    Generally speaking, if it’s a US coin made during my lifetime, I’m not terribly interested in it, unless it’s got bullion value or is a truly spectacular error.

    That being said, I surprised myself by doing something I thought I’d never do. I purchased a lowly Lincoln Memorial Cent for 75 bucks! (It was originally priced at $100, as I recall, but I haggled.)

    If anybody had told me I’d cough up 75 bucks for a 1965 Memorial cent, I’d have laughed at them and shaken my head.

    But it is from my birthyear, and this one is a true “monster toner”. It is every bit as vibrant in hand as it is in the photos.

    PS- I should also add that I am not one of those collectors who will pay exponential premiums for nice toning, so this one was doubly out of character for me.

    The lady on that 50-lirot note looks like my mother did in the early '60s. The nose is a bit off, but otherwise, yeah, that looks more than a little bit like my Mom when she was young. I guess it's the hairstyle I'm seeing. Sign of the times.

    I have a Dansco 7070. With a fair number of actual coins in it.

    Didn’t you win an 1838-O No Stars dime in one of my early CT giveaways, or am I thinking of someone else?

    I'd have to look. I did doodle in the book where the coins came from.

    I only saw one other like this; it was the same year, but the dime was upside down. 20211114_134045.jpg
