Like I said, I never thought I’d have 3 cent silver in proof. But opportunity knocked at 5 a.m. The early bird got this worm!

 

@JBOCON nice indian

 

Didn't even get to run the bid up on this one. Got it for BIN. Probably a little over grey but decently under pcgs price guide. Another nice original mid grade seated half.

 

View attachment 1472291 All that OT is paying off! Ever heard of the Kingdom of Lundy? Here's a Half Puffin from 1929. Some rich banker bought an island in the English Channel and declared himself king. Affordable and interesting. Anyone else love these old ANACS photo grade holders? Did they all have Dominion Financial slabs in 1984 or is that unusual? What's that about? It's got metal tape seals labeled as such on the sides sealing the slab, lol. I finally have my 3 cent Feuchtwanger in hand - I can see the "altered" surface (I think) pretty clearly now - it looks smoothed. I have nothing to compare it too, but that makes sense. What a great day!!!

 

In todays mail, this will be for my nephew as he graduates high school.
he will be attending Villanova this fall, major will be engineering.

 

Not in hand yet, but enroute from Great Collections.

 

Here is my newest Acquistion:

 

A pair of AR rupees came today. Awadh State, Muhammadabad-Benares, Ry.26 (fixed), AH 1222 and 1228 (AD1807 & 1813)

 

In todays mail

 

Came yesterday, Mughal Empire, Aurangzeb Alamgir, AR rupee, Itawa Mint, AH1101/Ry.34 (c. AD1658-1707)

 

I think hands down, this is the most beautiful die pair that Ron Landis has ever engraved.

It's his die trial reproduction of the Judd J12/P14 1792 US Quarter Pattern.

An amazing piece of US Numismatic History, and one of Ron's most faithful designs.






For comparison, here is a link and screen shots of the actual 1792 Quarter Pattern Ron was emulating.

This latest acquisition is actually broad struck out of collar in the same manner as Judd J13/P15 on white metal (pewter) cobs. Only 4 of the original pewter patterns exist, two broad struck as seen below.





I am totally excited to have secured this pair.

Got this yesterday.
Rarely encountered in this condition.

 

this weeks wins

 

I would like to learn more about the Dominion Financial ANACS certificate coins as well. I just got a similar WLH only w/o the metal tape seals.

 

In todays mail. I had to take a 41 mm insert and trim it so the 50 mm would fit.

 

This came in with the 50 MM. The die was done by Ron Landis.
