[QUOTE="paddyman98, post: 2253086, member: 44615"]Hi everyone. In observance of my [B]2000th[/B] Post (yes I'm proud of it :happy:) I wanted to share 3 Puerto Rico related items that are part of my collection. [ATTACH=full]446019[/ATTACH] First is a NGC certified Mint Canceled 2009 25C Puerto Rico Quarter. This is the NGC slab that I featured in my very first CoinTalk post back on [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ngc-puerto-rico-25c-mint-cancelled-mint-error.223932/']March 6th, 2013[/URL]. What I found intersesting is that I sent this to NGC to get certified and I think they made the mistake of giving it a MINT ERROR attribution on the label. Must of been because I listed the canceled Quarter together with the other Mint Errors I submitted. [CENTER][ATTACH]446017[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]446018[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] Second is a coin that I don't have much information on. The Obverse side says - 50 UNITED STATES ONE NATION - 51st STATE PROOF, The bust of Washington is marked with the word COPY. The Reverse side - The image of part of the famous fort called El Morro with a Parrot and the official Island frog, El Coqui. These designs were later incorporated into the official 2012 El Yunque Puerto Rico Quarter [CENTER]If anyone has any info on this coin please feel free to comment! [ATTACH=full]446020[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]446021[/ATTACH][/CENTER] And Third is a collectable Medallion commemorating the current Governor of PR - [B]Alejandro J. Garcia Padilla[/B]. Anyone interested in where I got this medallion let me know and I will get you the info! By the way my last name is [B]Padilla[/B] also :D [ATTACH=full]446022[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]446023[/ATTACH] I am happy to be part of the CoinTalk community. I have shared as much as possible my coins, hobbies and Numismatic knowledge with you and will continue in bringing more interesting threads (I hope they have been) for all to see and read! :woot: And I wanted to end in saying that I chose the Puerto Rico theme because my parents were born there. Today October 15th, is the 15th year anniversary of my fathers death who started me in the coin collecting hobby![/QUOTE]
