Jack, Thanks for your sentiments and accolades but right back at you! Anyone that knows or has ever dealt with you, I am sure feels the same way about you. It has been a pleasure doing deals with you, conversing with you here on C.T. as well as on the phone and reading your posts! You always shoot straight and stand behind what you have to say. I am sure that all of these and many other reasons are why that they folks here on C.T. put together this little surprise for you! I look forward to the day that we can meet in person at a Coin Show of just for a buds day out! Thanks...Frank
Okay, 1st is a pic of a " funnyback" 1928 silver certificate, AND a cpl of nice large cents, and 2 AZ tax tokens !!
next we have an ANACS 1868 Indian cent, a NYNY casino $10 gaming chip and my now one and only Barber design coin, a nice Barber quarter !! Also a selection of very nice Lincolns and a 1867-1967 Canadian centennial cent !!
next up is a VERY NICE 1915-D Lincoln and a special one, a 1943 copper plated cent !! Then comes a token, Ralua Pa-Ph 394. It is dated 1832 and was struck on the US minsts first steam press in 1875, he bought it from the mint for scrap metal value !!! The token is tiny, I have added the tip of a ballpoint pen to show size. last is a Siam porcelain gambling token, also very small , just a hair larger than the token.
There are 2 coins missing, and they are the reason for my delay in posting pics. A very nice BU Merc dime and a slabbed Lincoln cent, a 60 d/d/d RPM attributed by Tom Miller. They were in a small pouch that I had and it fell off the top of my safe, behind it and under the riser it sits on. The safe is too big for me to move alone, so I have to wait untill I get my son in law to help me push the safe away from the wall, it is 600+ pounds empty, a large heavy safe. I was sick when they slid pack there and was too embarrased to mention it until Magman called me out. A very nice Christmas from you folks, I cannot thank all of you enough !!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS Jack
Glad I opened todays mail, this came as well, you folks are too much, lol. An autographed Richard Hamilton basketball card, from my team, the Pistons !!!!
lol. It's probably easier to move things around the safe, than the actual safe itself. but I don't recall your setup that well. Thank's for posting the pics Of course, I'd already seen everything, but I thought everyone else would enjoy it. Also, that's one snazzy 1915-D, they don't make 'em like they used to...
Be careful moving that one. That has hernia written all over it. I'd really don't want to see you as a recipient of the Darwin Awards.
