Impressive! Congratulations to your friend. Bruce
Thanks for the pics. If I remember correctly there are quite a few varieties of Monitors. Not sure why I never got one for my collection. Bruce
I never had a Monitor when I was collecting CWTs but always liked them. I'd love to see yours, ksparrow, if you can come up with a pic. Bruce
Well, twenty days is like a lifetime for not posting on CT.:D Bruce
Another great coin! The orientation reminds me of the older Irish coins. Whatever critter was on the coin was considered the reverse. The obverse...

Yeah, I always liked the Higgins token too. A very nice group you have there. Bruce
I love the design of these walkers. Overall a nice lot of coins...mostly problem free with honest wear. Bruce
Don't put down your "decrepit' coins...my collections are very similar. The backbone of numismatics are what I call "blue collar" collections....
The one is more prominent on the overdates. I don't see it here. Bruce
Don't spoil it...just let him dream.:) Bruce
These Boutwell CWTs are very difficult to identify as to variety. Many types of "curly cues' and other design elements to decipher. A great...
Definitely exposed to some corrosive material. The spike in Washington's head was probably struck with a screw driver or chisel. Interesting coin....
