A little of this and.....that case!

Yeah, I get that, but I’d hate to see that Memorial cent lose its nice toning. There are a few others, like the three pence and the Canadian dime, but the cent really jumped out at me.

The 1952 Threepence and of course, the boobies, are oh so sweet. Nicely done, Paddy!

 

Here’s the comparison between the small bronze Enterprise medal (38 mm) and the large bronze Enterprise medal (63 mm). Now all I need is the large silver one, but those are decidedly pricier than the bronze ones.

 

Very, very cool display! Nice job.

 

Great display!

 

Many thanks to you and your family for your service.

According to the SCD book, 15,000 were produced in 38mm bronze, and the dies were destroyed afterward. I have no idea how many of the 63.5mm medals were produced in silver and bronze. I acquired mine (separately) between 10-15 years ago. I submitted both to NGC for grading. The silver is MS66 and the bronze is MS67. ~ Chris

 

If I were there, I'd ask for permission to reach in and examine several of them closer, especially the two error cents.

Near the center, almost all the way to the left edge, there are two coins with designs that look like the reverse of the U.S. dimes. I wonder which came first.

 

The chicken, duh!

Sorry for the hijack. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

 

That is very neat! Thanks for sharing!

Here is my display case. It's full of my metal detected rings -

 

Not a bad idea for some young fellow seeking matrimony . Just get on down on one knee and whip that huge ring display out with the words "take your pick, sweetpea". Or , if she's really special, you could have her pick 2 rings out. No way she could say "no".

 

Better yet, get down on one knee, hand her your metal detector and ask that if she wants to get married to start searching for a ring. ~ Chris

 

I love aircraft carriers too. My late hubby was a Marine air winger on the CVA-59 USS FORRESTAL. Did i spell that right

 

I think thr CVA-59 FORRESTAL WAS CHRISTENED in 1957. Would love one of those coins if they existed

 

He was a F-4 Weasel

 

Oh that is super cool. You work hard. Or love working. Or just damn gifted
