No, Great year!! We did get jipped on the quarters, halves and dollars for that year though. Dang mint had to do a special thing for two years. LOL
I took this and another like it 00' from the pawn shop shelf. In hand it has been whizzed. But, for 5 ea. It was worth it, they needed a good home.
Thanks that's sort of what I was thinking a stain or strike through a thread . As it's not breaking the surface but does run through the devices . That may hold it to a 64 thinking or was hopeful for a 65 on this one.
These two were sitting side by side in the case, I really didn't care about the low grade examples. Just wanted an example for my collection. 18$
Yesterday I went to a small coin show. I brought a single $50 bill with me, so my purchases will be perfect for this thread. After walking all the tables, and finding NO ancients, I found the only seller at the show with a few South African coins. Here is a bronze 1898 1 Penny. Mintage of 263,000 1896 silver 2.5 Shillings 1892 silver 1 Shilling 1935 silver 2.5 shillings and lastly a 1964 proof set with 7 coins including this silver 5 Shillings with my fav, the springbok! I left the show with zero dollars left. A success!
YN = Young Numismatist I believe the American Numismatic Association defines a YN as a collector from 5 to 17 years old.
Seller's pics - just picked up this "Double Header" Civil War token - NY-630L-17a, with two (nearly) identical dies, the latter in it's terminal state. This example is also weakly struck on one edge. R-2, but not offered as often as the rarity would indicate. $25 shipped - I couldn't say no.
