I have some pics of the exhibit, but you can't read anything. I showed my Jackson Civil War store cards, 21 of the 29 known varieties. Let's try the pics...This is my practice layout at home
Thank you my friend. I've done two exhibits and won Best of Show both times. I think it's time to retire.
No way Bill .....the craft man in you wouldn't allow that to happen . ....and by chance it does....I've got a long list of honey do you can start on your next visit to your daughters
LOL That's what I need, a longer list. Just started a project, building 16 Corn Hole game boards for my grandkids school.
Ah....make that 17 the wife allow me to use the yard darts after I speared the neighbors Chihuahua ......
Jerry a few years ago Bill brought his 2 cent collection to Baltimore Whitman show. Bill is who I would consider the go to guy on the 2 cent piece ,as well store cards,and coppers in general. His collection complete of all 2 cent pieces in both MS & Proof. IMHO should of taken 1st place as for his display as well the specimens in the display case. I am more than proud to call Bill a friend as well salute him for his work in Numismatics.
Had to work yesterday . ....was sort of bummed out as got an invite to go out opening day for Strippers.
From the reports I got up and down the Bay, you didn't miss a whole lot...most charters came back with 0, 1 or 2...with the dogwoods in nearly full bloom, me thinks the girls are up in the rivers spawning.
It worked and I rotated the coin. The old holder sure looks much better, and I didn't want to get it reholdered. Thanks again
Among these are some "Newps" that I've actually had for a while, and not shot until now . . . A nice middle grade 1925-D Buffalo with a scarce full date (No, I didn't shoot the buffalo THAT way): A BU scarce 1870 Seated Dime struck with extensively polished dies . . . An 1887-S Dime in high AU . . . And a beautiful toned AU 1888-S dime . . .
And a few more . . . A Choice BU 1890 Dime . . . A nice crescent-toned 1891 dime . . . A tough date 1841 Seated Half Dollar . . .
Been in a dry spell till last Tuesday but finally broke out and scored some keepers with my metal detector. No key dates but the walker (1944) is in real good shape and the seated quarter (1875) is only the second I've ever found. Two Washington's, (1934 and 1941) were found in the same hole.
