This was actually gifted to me by a friend on another message board. I like it and it is apropos for the season...... Oh......and a commem too.
Saw these at the coin store, you really cant pass them up. Actually you probably should... that way there's more for me
I got two more SSB proofs before the cut-off. Still waiting for the two Unc's to be shipped on the 15th per the mint estimate.
It's just a fantasy... ... but as long as we're looking at that particular Barber Design, here's a fantasy piece I just received: See the September 2009 Numismatist, which documents the original drawing.
Beautiful piece. I always wondered why the Columbian Expos toned so much darker than other coins from the era. Is it a different alloy?
Just use it as a hole filler until you find one that has an original hole. Trust me, you'll feel much better about your collection when you find that one coin with an original hole (not made by you).
