[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 13016008, member: 105571"]Here are three of my favorites from this past year. First up is the 1839 No Drapery quarter, one of the sub-varieties I'd been seeking for the type set. The only ND seated coin now needed is the half dollar which is expensive and somewhat elusive. Next had been on my list for a while and I found it more or less by accident at the July FUN show. It's a Talbot, Allum & Lee token. As a side note, I'm on the lookout for a large cent or half cent overstruck on a TAL token with strong undertype. The second I found at a local fossil/mineral/artifact/coin shop that I had been meaning to visit for some time. I don't collect ancients or medieval but this one spoke to me, largely because of a familial connection to the late Ango-Saxon rulers. If you're ever in Orlando, try to make time to visit Ancient Artifacts on Fairbanks Avenue. Full disclosure: I'm not connected to the store or its owner. It's easy to spend a couple of hours there. Owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. [ATTACH=full]1529066[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1529061[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1529063[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
