I too can't wait to see it. :kewl: I've picked up a dozen or so nice Connecticut Cents in the past couple of weeks, a pretty 1817 New York Theatre Token, a few 17th century English Trade Tokens, a couple of large cents and a few other nick-knacks. :goofer: Ribbit
Submitted this with a batch of other coins. Very happy with these results. A Snow 4 RPD is fairly rare according to Rick Snow's book so I was very happy with this find.
1916 Matte Proof Lincoln PCGS PF65 BN I bought this beauty at Central States and am looking forward to showing it off in Long Beach. It's a 1916 Matte Proof Lincoln PCGS PF65 BN, with a mintage of only 600. It's the first 1916 I've had.
Some nice looking coins, really like the Civil War Token Here's what came via USPS today. Been waiting a while for this one!
That is a GORGEOUS Civil War Token - just love the toning on this! "Submitted this with a batch of other coins. Very happy with these results. A Snow 4 RPD is fairly rare according to Rick Snow's book so I was very happy with this find." Oh, and I certainly couldn't leave out commenting on this great overdate Indian cent! I really like these, and the overdate is very bold - nice coin Boss!
I scored a few Hard Times Tokens in the EAC Convention auction staged by Chris McCawley and Bob Grellman. Nuthin' fancy - but interesting.
I keep going back and looking at PL's 1916 Matte Proof. :bigeyes: You can see each individual hair in the beard.....WOW
Yes, I'd been saving for this baby... I am not going to give price or grade just yet, I have another thread going to see what others think, because I think it is undergraded...
Well, now that you ask, here are a couple that I just got photos of! The first one is 1899 NGC MS66* BN and the 2 cent piece is 1872 NGC PF66 RB.
Actually the photos of the 2 cent proof do not do the coin justice - it has violet magenta toning with blast bright mirrors that I understand are very hard to pick up in photographs. It is one of those pieces you look at and say WOW! But so is the 1899......
