<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2306718, member: 19250&quot;]Nothing big today just a few items from the LCS. Got all of these for a$1 over spot,so pretty happy even though they aren&#039;t that great just a few inexpensive finds. The first one is an 1892 Columbian half Dollar, a little dinged up but for a dollar over melt I&#039;ll bite.[ATTACH=full]464235[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Next was something I just ran across a Mercury Dime an 1944 D. At first looking at it I believed it to be full bands it&#039;s close,but what sold me was the color and die crack that runs again 12 to 6 from the E to the base of her neck and rim. When I got her home and realized it was a soft strike and the die near its end. I knew it was a cool example of how they rode these dies to the very end. check out the MD on the date very cool.

And those date after1920 were minted in Manila. During WW II coins from 1944-1945 were minted in the states at all 3 mints. What caught my eye on this coin was that the rim denticals&nbsp; were messed up exactly 180 from each other across the coin and missing completely on the Reverse. However the reeded edge is perfect around the coin. And the date looks to have been repunched on all 4 numbers.no matter what I like this coin as it&#039;s in unc. sharp and again a bargain for a $1.50. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]464246[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]464249[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]464252[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
