I'm really proud of this one! Big thanks to Glenn at holsonbake numismatics! Just paid for her tonight, should be here in a week or so. Only one more coin to go and the type set is complete.
That's a sweet piece for a 64. Can't wait to see the complete set thread, I know you have been working on it for a while now.
Very nice looking coin. From the pics, it looks like it has a bit of a frost on the devices. Almost a bit cameo. Looks very mark free as well.
Yeah Kirk I thought so too. I loved the almost proofish color and she's super clean with the only real marks around the edges away from everything. I'm excited to type up the thread and talk about everything, this has been a two year adventure so it's been an investment of time so I am excited!
A shield nickel, I already have my eye on one I the bay. It's funny the last couple coins, I found both my Indian and flying eagle within the same week of each other and then my liberty and shield within the same week of each other. Talk about killing 4 birds with 2 stones lol.
And with that the set is complete! I just snagged an 1883 au55 shield for $86. I'm pleased. Completion thread will be posted this weekend.
You mean to tell me that I have to be stuck in middle of the Gulf of Mexico for the next few days with nothing to read until you do this. Ahhhh.......
Yep, I'll be out here until Monday or so, then heading to another one for a day or so. I have to be back on terra firma before valentines day or my GF will kill me.
