Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 970543, member: 22331"]A Better View Of A 1950-D Thank you for your consideration/advice, as I was just curious about the "foresight" of an employer, when I was a young boy. It's a long story, but my father was institutionalized when I was ~9 years, and I became the wage earner for my family of 4 younger siblings, and my mother, who traded her services. We located a 1 room "shack" in a predominately poor Jewish neighborhood, where I traded my efforts for goods/rent. I babysat, and worked in the shop of a store owner - coin dealer. I worked almost 50 hours for this coin, but became the organizer/leader - sub-contractor of a youth work group, where I received token credit for supplying services. I believe it was still 1950 when I received the coin, but as my services were appreciated/required, in following years "earning" 3 more identical coins. I have a total of 4, as I considered the beautiful coins to be my pieces of Art. I've tried to produce some better resolution images of the coin which has sharp full length continuous steps, and looked at where the "ticks" appear in the photos. They seem to mostly be contaminants on the lens/film. I hope these images provide a more complete picture of my "piece of art". Please pardon the quality of my poor photos, as although my equipment was expensive when purchased a decade ago, it hardly competes with any modern device. Thanks again for your consideration/advice.
