    Strikes that have to do with the collar.

    Are you nuts? Oyster stew is delicious! Half N half as your liquid base, shucked oysters and their liquor, a stick of butter, simmered until just hot enough to lightly cook the oysters, salt and pepper. It's as simple as you can get. (and add oyster crackers if you like, how did you think they got their name?) lol....Saltines are a decent substitute for those. Good stuff!

    Let me take a stab at the location....Shuckers on the boardwalk at the beach? I was a regular there in my running and ripping single days! Raw or steam oysters and steamed shrimp (peelers were what they called them on the menu) washed down with pitchers of beer. Good times........a trip down nostalgia lane! I still have a home only 3 miles from there, but haven't been down to the strip in a long time.......not sure if that place is still there anymore.

    Isn't that just a misfire from the dies on the planchet? I think they have good premiums don't they?

    I just did. Nope, she gone.:sorry: Wow, I just google mapped it. An entire block is gone, bulldozed completely. I heard the city was thinking about rebuilding that completely, now I see why. Some developer just razed an entire block. That makes me sad. :(

    Hehe made me look it up...
    "Sliders" at Neptune beach was the one we hit,(closest to home) but there were no shortage of similar spots around and Shuckers sounds damn familiar too and over the 2+yrs I was stationed there at Mayport we probably hit a dozen different oyster/peeler bars lol :D but if it was my choice we were down at "Cindy's goodtime pub".. no oysters or shrimp but live music every weekend and some of the best burgers and BBQ I've had anywhere. It was mostly motorheads and bikers there so not really family friendly lol

    It all depends on the dealer, most of them depending on how dramatic sell for under 20.

    At half dollar size it has to be paper thin. Neat one!

    It's the excessive circumferential (hoop) stress that causes tearing of the planchet and the telltale mushroom shape of large broadstrikes that you see in that example.

    I've eaten a bunch at Sliders in Atlantic Beach, they used to be really good too. I think that is still there. Shuckers was in Jax Beach right on the ocean. Bikers and motorheads reminds me of Sunset Grill in St Augustine Beach, it's been a LONG time since I've eaten there, usually happy hour for oysters and drinks. If you've been to Sliders, bet you've drank beer and played pool across the street at Pete's Bar. It's a dive, but a highly popular one. I've never done it, but they serve breakfast on Christmas morning. lol
