Pics didn’t come through first time I hate this goddamn phone I can’t wait to get rid of it

 

My fun coin is a close quarter, also known as a Clinton quarter. I can't post a picture, (doesn't qualify for 50's TV rule) but you can find them with a Google Search for "Close Quarter".

 

Also called "Head Quarters" as well.

I think I have one or two. Maybe I can post th obverse.

Gotta find the photos.

1892-1904 second US Mint restrike of the Washington before Boston medal from Barber dies. Bought for $25 at a show (and surprisingly, no firearms were involved in that transaction). Mintage of just 167, I grade this one SP61 or so.

Easily one of my favorite numismatic items.

 

Sheesh . . . . ^^^^^^^

I am sure that there is one in there somewhere.
I think of the Lesher dollars, Bryan dollars.

 

One of my favorite Franklins.

 

I have always wanted to photo one of those 3d hall reverses.

 

Closest I've got.

Started collecting American Innovation Dollars because of this one. Had to have it.
My Dad was a scientist and Mom was a High School teacher...
I find all the Innovation Dollars to be a ton of fun!

 

This one qualifies methinks . . . . . .

And some polka dots to go with it!

 

Mardi Gras throws are all pretty much about fun!

Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen (1621/22 – 17 August 1676)[2] was a German author. He is best known for his 1669 novel Simplicius Simplicissimus. The image on the coin is the frontispiece of his book.

A very interesting character. This Wiki page is a good precis of his life
