    Went to the Golden State Coin show yesterday and wasn't really planning on buying anything. I just hate to miss a coin show a mile from my house.:D

    I really like Bust coinage, but haven't until now owned any. I wanted an inexpensive coin to learn attribution with. Looking at Pics isn't quite the same. Anyway enjoy and any guesses or opinions on grade are always welcome:thumb:

    I was also looking through another dealers small cent book, saw these at the front and thought they were kinda cool. One has medal rotation and the other coin rotation.

    Nice patriotic tokens. At forst glance they look the same. But the busts are different, as well as the reverse designs. Interesting pair when looked at together.

    Yea the only differences I really noticed when I was at the show was the reverse star, and the die rotation. After seeing the obverse differences I started to wonder about the authenticity, but they weren't very expensive so I won't lose sleep while I research them.
