I finally got my 1913-D and S. Both PCGS's. I kinda like the grain on the "D". These are 2 of the last 3 I bought.
The must have been something going on with the planchets at the Denver mint that year. Here are two others I have. I like the graining on the raw one the best, but it is only AU. The other is 63RB by ANACS.
Dick, I admire your coins. You really have a great set. Gives me something to look up too/for! for the 1913 P..is that a Maroon border w/ a burgandy around Lincolns body? It's different..in a good way
Triskaidekaphobics - now where in the world did you dig up that 50 cent word ! I pride myself on my vocabulary but I've never run across that one. Nice new additions :thumb:
I agree, I had to log that word up in the dictionary to realize what it meant. I should have made an educated guess with the cents that he showed.
OMG. I think I got that one from high school. Anyway, it was some long time ago. All I had to do was look up the spelling,
Thanks for sharing, rlm. Nice 13-PDS set unless you suffer from triskaidekaphobia. :kewl: If you suffer from friggatriskaidekaphobia, stay home on the second Friday in August this year. More food for thought: Some say the "fear of Friday the 13th" comes from the October 13, 1307 roundup and execution of the Knights Templar by King Philip. Others say that is a 20th century concoction popularized by The Da Vinci Code. Who knew?
Nice coins RLM :thumb: I had to lookup what Triskaidekaphobic meant though; clever. There is a phobia for EVERYTHING. -LTB
Thanks for all the comments, but I cannot believe all the people who have not heard of triskaidekaphobia. I hear it on the TV about twice a year.
Some people remember words, some don't. Just like there are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary, those who don't.
To own the coins in the thread. Nice additions - and yes I heard the word, but could not remember where or what it meant.
