Well, not to be out done... I snached this lady up last night for less than $10 for my type set. Seller pics, and fits the bill for my modern "bronze dollar" slot.

I just kind of snuck in on this pair in the last 60 seconds of bidding for my Type Set (upgraded in the future at some point, I'm sure)...



I got BOTH coins SHIPPED for $4.75. I know there isn't a huge demand for them, but two MS66 PCGS graded coins for less than $2.5o each can't be bad, right?

(EDIT: Just added them to my PCGS registry - the Madison is worth $7, the Jefferson $10. Still not at all a bad deal if you ask me!)

 

Picked up another one of my favorites. I have several raw samples. Here's one in my little white ANACS holder.

 

From the coin show on Saturday:

Pictures of a Distant Country: Seeing America Through Private Money by Richard Doty (Whitman, 2013, 296 pages, $24.95) is an oversized book (9 by 11 inches) replete with enlarged, full-color images of banknotes and other fiduciary paper from the nineteenth century. Dr. Richard Doty is the senior curator of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Numismatic Collection where he has had 27 years to study, organize, and display the tangible evidence of our nation’s financial history.

Unlike the otherwise very nice efforts that organize paper money either by denominations and then by year of issue, or else by series of issue and then by denomination, this book honors the American people according to our occupations, families, classes and social statuses, as well as by our own views of whimsy, entertainment, accelerating technology, and national mythology.

(Reviewed for the MSNS Mich-Matist, Summer 2013).

 

Picked up a couple key Barber quarters. Love the clashing on the 92-O. Enjoy!

 

I really do love these little holders. I will buy any coin that looks good, but I've found a nice little niche picking these old holders up and I quite enjoy them.

 

Ok I couldn't help myself and bought a couple more

 

Not exactly what I usually buy (the $5 ) but I didn't have a type one for my type set and thought it a nice example pcgs au 55 mostly I stick with the early copper and silver as I can't afford the early gold (pre 1834) that I'd love to have maybe someday ill win the powerball

 

What's the significance of the reverse? Seems kinda strange that a turtle and a turkey are just chilling out with a wolf without the wolf making a meal of the two of them.

 

Just bought this for my AU Walker set only need one more to complete a 1945D

Whose slab? Brand X?

 

Not to worries I will take it out of the holder and put it in my Dansco album

 

Looks like a generic slab with a basic Avery label on there. Is it just me or does this Walker look better than AU?
