This was a "gift" to my mother December 25, 1941. This picture was taken later (1963). [IMG] Every year around Christmas she would look at me...
Now THAT'S a great find.
The 1951-S is a bit tough to get without going to the -65 level or higher. My problem with the BTW's is I can't find ANY 1949's, (P), D or S. At...

Psssst, it already did.
That was the event that got me out of numismatics. I build a nice US stamp collection after that. Then along about 1990 I stopped doing stamps and...
One from Heritage and the other two from Great Collections. 1935-S Daniel Boone, PCGS MS-64 http://www.dcderoo.com/51-Boone-o-30.jpg...
