yes I know I way over paid, but this is 1 I had to have for my collection. yup gonna do the caribou quarter toned quarters collection from dates 1937-1968

 

1869 Two Cent Piece (PCGS PR65BN). Just nabbed this on Sunday. I found it surfing the web after a bout of insomnia Saturday night. It might be one of the most beautiful Two Centers I've ever come across. PCGS Guide Price is $1200 and I paid 1.5x for it (and I still feel like I got a bargain).

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this was the first U.S. Coin to carry the motto "In God We Trust" on it, which first started on U.S. coinage in 1864 during the final bloody years of the Civil War. However not all U.S. coins carried that motto until 1938, after the Buffalo Nickel ended its run.

The Shield design on the obverse was modeled after the Great Seal of the United States. The vertical lines (6 lines and 7 spaces) in the bottom part of the shield represent the 13 original colonies -- and the horizontal lines at the top of the shield (I believe) represent the Federal Government. So together it's supposed to represent the strength of our nation.



I don't think the coin was very popular with the masses, which led to it's short run (only 10 years total) and steadily falling mintage's every year.

 

Amazing coin!

 

Absolutely beautiful! You did quite well, congrats!

 

Me like; Me want

 

Pretty eagle there Sky king ...... say hello to Penny for me
Let see who remembers.......

 

Thank you guys for your kind words!

Heck, I don't remember.

I find that my short term memory loss is getting longer and longer...

 

Sky King was a airplane flying cowboy TV series in the late 50's early 60's. And of course his niece was Penny a young blonde and one of Sky's side kicks.

 

I almost fell out of my chair.

 

One of my toned Peace Dollars. I thought it was unique...

 

Both of these just graded at PCGS at PR67, no cameo. A third monster toned roosie I submitted (1961) just graded PR68 Cameo. Will post pix when I get it back.

 

Portrayed by Kirby Grant, a B-western actor. He died in a car wreck while driving to a launch of the space shuttle.
