Sorry, I don't know anything about their value. The date looks like a 1777 (with the 7s all backwards) on the second picture. Don't remember if...
Agree on the 1880. Particularly beautiful! Scott
Wow.. never even seen one of those 1938 dollars before (outside of a Red Book). Hope you got a "pretty penny" (or thousands of them) for that...
Thanks for the info. Never heard this before. I just checked mine and 1 out of 6 1958's was a type 2 and all 6 of 6 1959's were type 2....
Thanks for the write up! Never thought about the circulation pieces. Makes me wish I extended my sets earlier. I like some of the designs, even...

About 15 years ago, I made an ebay purchase of one of those bags of heavily encrusted ancient coins from a "fresh dig" in Europe somewhere. Spent...
Brad, Quite enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to put that together! Any chance you want to do one for Buffalo Nickels too? I've always...
