Nice Jefferson. :thumb:
The toning definitely caught my eye. I sold a 1911 I had about a year back and was sorry I did. Not as sorry now. This 1915 has a better look...
I have a clad Kennedy half that is very similar. I saved it cuz it looks neat.
Not at all, its just the right size and tends not to fall out. I am definitely a double eagle guy. I love big, clunky crusty gold.
A 1904-S $20 Liberty AU-55 in an ANACS holder. ANACS holders are quite durable I have found.

I am sorry to hear they are counterfeit. There are a lot of them coming out of China these days. Hopefully you didn't pay too much :( I even have...
NIce Jeffferson. I especially love em when they do that purple toning. I have one from 1961 that did the purple thing.
Nice coin! Thx for the heads up on the Saint-Gaudens exhibition. Doubt I will be in NYC during that time, but if I am I will try to check it out ;)
Funny you should mention this idea...lol. In Argentina, there is a coin shortage right now. Many businesses, instead of giving out "precious"...
Pratt's design is amazing, even 100 years later. I believe I read somewhere he was a student of Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Nice 1912 $2.5 and 1908...
IMHO, it is always good move to buy pre-1933 US gold in a holder from one of the 4 major grading services...PCGS, NGC, ANACS or ICG. Too much...
Sorry to disappoint, but no Charlotte or Dahlonega gold here. :( I am mainly a double eagle man, so I have at least one of "P", "O", "S", "D" and...
Thx for the welcome!
Only way I am getting these quarters is through an old hometown bank. I've only rec'd one 2009 DC quarter in change so far. I put it back into...
This is a REALLY crappy pic with zoom, but it gives a general idea of the coin. Very soon I am going to have to look into more professional...

This one is a keeper, definitely. Thx for the complement, btw. My most treasured $20 is the PCGS XF-40 1852-O that I found at a local coin show...
I would bet that it came from someone's old change jar. With the recession, many people are raiding spare change jars. Nice looking dime, but a...
