Freshly back from NGC...

 

And I am still loving it!

 

WOW...nice one Lance! Obviously a 67, eh?

 

Spectacular '43-D. How'd it grade?

Here's one I like.
Lance.

 

That is an impressive cent Lance!

 

That 37-S is SMOKIN!

 

:thumb:I have to agree it is !!

 

Here's a new addition that I picked up at last weeks Heritage auction. It replaces a coin that just didn't measure up in the eye-appeal department.

 

Still can't figure out how to change the color of text so it will show up.

Anyone who uses Gimp, please let me know!

 

I don't use the lettering, but a quick check showed a big bold box called "COLOR" in the toolbox. Either look in "WINDOWS" or "control" and "B" to open that window. I tried it. It works.

 

Try inserting the writing in MS Paint. I use gimp and can't figure out inserting text.

 

Two old lincolns

It's been nearly a week with no posts, I had to add these that I bought today.

 

Got this really neat Lincoln medal recently from a fellow coin club member. You can see the size of it as I have the edge of a cent in the lower corner of the photo. I thought the medal was silver, but based on some wear at the top of the flag on the reverse, it appears to be a bronze medal that was silver plated. In any event, it's a really cool looking medal with a younger image of Lincoln on the obverse and a nude man (Lincoln again?) and topless woman carrying the flag as they fly over the Capitol. Not sure when it was made but it was likely done for either the 1909 centennial of Lincoln's birth or perhaps for one of the Grand Army of the Republic reunions around that time... perhaps 1915 for the 50th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. I have been able to find out the medal is referenced as King-783. Anyone else know anything about this medal?

 

Also got these old Capital Plastic holders recently from a small antique shop in central Missouri... the first holds 1909-1937 and the second holds 1938-1964 with a few blank spots at the bottom. Never seen another set of holders like this so I bought it.
