I had the opportunity to purchase this coin and passed. I have regretted that decision ever since. It is a 1937 50c PCGS MS67 Superbly Toned Antietam Commem. This has got to be one of the most beautifully toned early commemoratives in existence.
Im so thankful you posted this topic/coin. there is a commemorative coin, I think it has a wagon on it. and it is superbly toned. any one have a picture of it? its been posted here before, but Ive never been able to find it. ill post some of my "wish list" later
You are speaking of the Oregon Trail commemorative and there are many many phenomenal toned examples. Infact, there is a PCGS registry set (San Diego Collection) that has some of the most phenomenal high grade toned Oregon's in existence. The set is truly unbelievable. One of the absolute finest coin collections I have ever had the priviledge to see. I can't even imagine what the value of this collection is. All but two of the coins are top pops and he has not one but two, one of a kind MS69's. Just incredible. Anyway here is the link: http://pcgs.com/setregistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=43739
Just look at my avatar. That is the single most expensive Lincoln ever - 1926-S MS65 red. I know it is hard to tel, but.............
thats it! it looks so good. You know its good cause you knew which one I was talking about. RLM! I didn't put any thought into your avatar before. Nice Lincoln man!
I hate to sound like a computer illiterate, But I cannot seem to find a way to get a picture of that coin onto my computer. can any one give me a hand. I want to make it my desk top
There are a ton of coins out there that I would like to own, too many to pick just one. So, here are some of them (plus a 1933 Double Eagle of which I have no pic). My #1 Dream Coin though is:... Oh, I want this set: The only of these I'll probably ever have:
Here's mine. I rarely collect anything except business strikes. So, why this coin? Mostly because there's that VERY annoying hole in my Morgan album. BTW, I borrowed this image from an online site. I think I'm allowed to do that if I don't try to profit in any way from its use. Either that or I'll be getting my hand slapped (or worse) in the near future.
Fair Use... Posting an image using the link from it's original website is well in the law. The law becomes more hazy when someone saves an image on their PC and then hosts it from a website seperate from the original source.
