damn, I'll never remember that word.

Thanks for the post, another neat word to add to my failing memory

"stylobate"

In classical Greek architecture, a stylobate (Greek: στυλοβάτης) is the top step of the crepidoma, the stepped platform on which colonnades of temple columns are placed (it is the floor of the temple).

 

I didn't grade it. Also agree but still nice

 

I stumbled on this photo this morning ... Robec did a great job. This is a 1931-S Daniel Carr restrike -- the series actually ended in 1930. I still think it's one cool deisgn -- why cant the mint produce coins that look like this again?

 

I wish I would have gotten one of those!!

 

Well, the 2016 centennial of the design is coming soon.

 

Great!...... for those who can afford it.....

 

They don't come out for awhile I'm sure we all can save up by then

 

My latest? Got a '58 P .01 this morning. Worth .02? LOL!

 

Recent raw eBay pickup

 

I just hope they do not screw-up the re-issued designs with laser-etched frosting on the proofs. It would be a tremendous disservice to the artists and their numismatic legacies.

 

Bite your tongue. That would be awful.

 

Agreed, but don't be surprised.

 

Found in change today.
The cent must be a 64bn and the quarter a nice PL

 

Made an offer on this a couple days ago, and my offer was just accepted can't wait to take my own photos of it

 

Coin show pickups today I think the 1943 D is a FB. But either way I needed it for my collection. Great chats with some of my friends haha.

 

Got both of these dirt cheap & both I needed.
