What a stunner!! Where's the "LOVE" button? PR67 I see, from your registry link. And it's featured on CoinFacts.

 

Hot damn. I've never really liked V nics but that one is yummy!

 

Nice

agreed.

 

Who says V nickels have to be ugly?

 

Maybe Barber wife on V nickel. Yea only Proof look great.

 

Last acquisition of 2015. Happy New Year!

 

1935 S MS 63 The final piece to the puzzle. In my opinion the best looking date in the Peace series.

 

Great coin. What do you mean by 'best looking date in the Peace series', though? Best struck?

 

Seems to be an unusually good strike in a series not known for such. Great find!

 

Overall quality, strike, and luster. I feel this date really represents what a silver dollar should look like. In appearance, it is head and shoulders above any S date in the series. Happy new year!

 

I must agree, a very strong strike.

New year, new coins. Latest addition is a coin I got from another collector here. It wasn't something I needed but it was one of the few coins that screamed "buy me". Die clash was the bonus.

Coins and Collectors: Golden Anniversary Edition by Q.David Bowers. (Whitman Publishing, 2014. 416 pages. $29.95)

Here are 51 stories about American numismatics and numismatists, from the 1792 Half Disme, struck from silver plate donated to the Mint by George Washington, to the 1933 Double Eagle. I found numismatic stories about the Erie Canal
and the Territorial Notes of Central City, Colorado. I met Thomas Elder and Emery May Holden Norweb. The depth, breadth, and length of this book promises to keep me entertained for many long hours on those nights when I cannot go to a coin club, convention, or store.
