I know some of us posters are old, but I seem to have forgotten what Cleo looked like. I will have to take your word for it. More seriously,...
In 1927 the Denver mint turned away from the dismal strikes that dominated the earlier 1920’s. Although I did pay $65 for this about 7 or 8 years...
Somehow my LCS came into possession of a roll of 1927’s. I had picked out the two that I thought were the best. I sorta feel bad that I only took...
I looked for a while for a 1926-S. I found this online for $90. The well-known vendor said “From the Bargain Bin”. I snapped it up immediately....
1926-D from eBay for $30. It’s one of the very few cents without any red. These are another issue where good strikes are hard to come by. As you...

This 1924-S was covered with something, possibly varnish, when I got it from eBay for $165. [ATTACH] It took me a few years to work up my...

Here’s one way. Or maybe Mercury dimes? They would make it possible to step back to 1916. Then you could step across to some Barbers. [ATTACH]
I am unlikely to try to upgrade this 1924-D because I like the toning. Purchased raw at my local coin shop for $130. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Say what, now? What is that used for?
I was going to pop both of these in the mail for ya, so I taped them to a postcard. They are pretty darn heavy. On my way to the mailbox they tore...
