I've never been to a Summer FUN, but the Winter FUN is about 3x bigger. If I could only go to one, I'd choose the January show every time.
No, you appear to have DDO-013: http://varietyvista.com/12%20Kennedy%20Halves/DDO%20Detail%20Pages/1964DDDO013.htm Take a look especially at the...
I'd wager every single coin in that box is fake. I don't see any that look genuine.
I'll make cocktail-influenced posts.... such as right now. Started the night with a martini, moved to a negroni, progressed to something with rum...
Great looking set - I look forward to seeing the rest! Tonkin was also part of French IndoChina, in the north of Vietnam. As far as I know, they...

What an unfortunately cluttered, ugly design for a reverse. If you have to take up a large portion of the coin with a legend explaining what the...
Haha, don't worry, they are not real. These are the sorts of things you might find in a museum gift shop.
R-1 is super common, so I'd use the generic date value. R-3 doesn't usually have much of a premium. What is the rarity of the C-4 and C-5?...
Come on man. You really expect us to GTG from those pics? It's Proof. There. That's the best you'll get. And if those are the pics the Ebay...
I know your post was "Old Redbook", but I'm gonna riff on "cool people at church giving you stuff." When I was in high school, there was an old...
I'll be going back to Egypt in October. Last time I was there was summer of 2001... just a couple of months before 9/11.
I would not store the coin in the envelope - but I would *definitely* keep the envelope. Those sorts of notes provide provenance, and help trace...
