this is what my mom wanted to get me. 1957b silver certificate. Not a fold one. And the denver, Philadelphia and the proof presidential coin set.
That is a super-nice Silver Certificate. As a suggestion, whenever you are taking photos of coins that are in a plastic case or slab or mylar 2x2, it is always best to place your lights at about 10 & 2 o'clock at a 45 degree angle to the subject. That way you don't get any glare bouncing back into the lens of your camera. Chris
Nice Silver certificate the problem is they printed way to many of these I have several consecutive *STARS* in the B Series and the value is maybe $25 each, but they are pretty unique just the same.
You know how i know who this guy is ? it was the school all those kids Were at in "Die Hard " its the school where they planted the fake bomb That was like # 3 or 4...LOL
In the movie Die Hard 3 they plant a fake bomb in Chester A. Arthur School in NYC. Which matches the presidential coins...
Here,s a little more on are boy Chet ! 21st President, 1881-85 Chester Arthur was one of five Presidents who was never elected — he took office after James Garfield's assassination and served nearly a full term. His political rise took place in the not-quite-squeaky-clean New York political machine, where he had a reputation for cronyism and allegedly demanded kickbacks from workers to support the Republican Party. So he shocked many observers by becoming a reformer in office, ushering in the civil-service commission to crack down on the rampant spoils system. Even Mark Twain said it would be "hard to better" his Administration. But Arthur's do-gooder streak didn't particularly please other Republicans, and he became one of the few Presidents to fail to win his party's nomination for re-election. Historians suspect he didn't campaign very aggressively for it, as early in his term he had learned — but kept secret — that he had a fatal kidney disease. He died two years later after leaving office.
