Well.... As it goes. Closed up shop early today. Very out of character for me. So what to do but visit my favorite dealer..... I been telling myself that I needed to up my nice examples of early commemoratives. Guess what was prominently displayed in his center case?..... Sometimes I think the man reads my mind.
It's an Oregon Trail ..... you know it's very hard to resist those. Are they all yours now? They must be as you're calling them family. Congrats Randy.
Yes sir. All mine and laid neatly in front of me to enjoy their proximity on my afternoon of hooky from the office!
Whoop! Whoop! CircCam alert on Lafayette dollar! Want more pix so I can be properly envious. I've not yet owned one of that type, and I think that could possibly be the handsomest circulated example I've seen. Modest grade, killer eye appeal. My kinda coin.
Enjoy them! Here's a little something to go along with that Oregon written by Ezra Meeker himself. I enjoyed reading it and I hope you do as well if you haven't already. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/29543/29543-h/29543-h.htm
Yes sir. I thought precisely about you when my eyes caught that one. It truly is a gorgeous hue that sucked me right in!
I agree, that Lafayette is low grade but it sure is something special! Great eye appeal on that piece.
