Normally I don't purchase coins and currency because of lack of funds, but today I was at my local coin shop swapping silver quarters for ASE's, and I saw a 2011 September 11 National Medal. 9/11 affected me personally, lost a lot of friends and co-workers. With the anniversary tomorrow, when I saw it and I had to have it.
I like these old ANACS holders and I got a deal so, even though I don’t love the scuff on the cheek this one came home with me. I like the toning and good luster, clearly it used to be in a GSA holder.
Jus got this to add to the other two. And so begins the 53 collection. EBay pics, can't wait to see it in hand.
Those light obverse scrapes make me think of some cowboy sliding it across the bar to pay for his whiskey.
I know, right? Sure love wondering where it's been. Using the grading guide, I'm thinking vf25 or so for the obv. Vf35 for the rev. The reverse is what sold me.
Looks to be a sweet rpd....ya need to do a good image when it arrives. Hopefully I can give you the FS number on the variety. Nice coin
