An @lordmarcovan & Co prize winner: Very cool, and well done! The Mercury Dime is a 1937. Thanks, these are great!
Nice 50/00. This is a Redbook variety which although only rated as R-2 I have somehow never owned in over 50 years of specializing in capped bust halves.
Only meant to buy the unc. but I ordered the proof by mistake, and couldn't cancel it after I realized my confabulation.....such is life.
Dang, I don’t know... that design really pops with the cameo on the proof. I’d call that a happy accident myself.
Walked out of the coin shop with too much money spent. I am a happy camper though. 1853 Arrows and Rays. Reverse is BLACK and therefore named the Midnight Sun. This Buff has some serious Pastel Toning. I couldn't capture all of its true beauty, but the whole thing is toned green with blue outlining all the details and pink on the high spots. A true beauty in hand. .... Aaaaaand I overspent myself on this one. A real beauty.
