Nice toned steelie. Those are hard to come by.

 

Picked on the bay and already had high res images
MS67 and a DDO not recognized by the seller

 

1066merlin. Your ?boring but likeable 5 ore coin looks like it's been baked by the Swedish Chef !

 

- -This just arrived. At a grade of 62, I figured it couldn't possibly be graded lower if I cracked it out. Since all my other proofs are raw, I did exactly that.


This is how it looks. There appear to be fine lines all over, but since they don't cross from the fields to the devices, I think they are polish marks.


And moving a little...


It's pretty reflective, too. (That's my finger.)


Edit: I forgot to mention - I don't see why this is PF62. Any thoughts?

 

Holy Kripes Bob........a man after my own heart.

 

Those lines you talk about = PF62.

 

Pie? I do love it so.........

 

Does anyone know if there is a commemorative coin society or the like around?

 

You could ask, about a commemorative coin society, in your local library (they probably wouldn't know either !). - Why not look it up online ?

 

My first thought, but I did and cannot find one. Sometimes these are rather obscure and might travel under a different name or as a sub-group of a larger collecting interest. Apparently there was one that died out, but I cannot find a replacement.

 

Any idea what the Kennedy was next to that would leave the honeycomb pattern?

 

Not sure. It sure did make it look pretty cool though.

 

OK, I'll double post this one to the Ancients forum also...an ant nose coin, before and after cleaning pictures.

 

Cherrypicked this one this morning... Not bad for an album coin.

I think it's an 1864/1864? @Paddy54 @C-B-D
