<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BuffaloHunter, post: 26600596, member: 5821&quot;]I’m late to the party on this one.&nbsp; I had to dig my stuff out and rifle through to find these. Good thread, Dennis.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have two so-called dollars and one so-called half dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was searching for historical items from my hometown of Alexandria, MN and found that there were these so-called dollars made to commemorate the centennial of the towns birth. His website was not as user friendly almost 16 years ago when I contacted Jeff Shevlin. We went back and forth via email a bit and I purchased the below piece pedigreed to his collection on January 18th, 2010 for $122.50.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two months later, on March 19th, 2010, I was making my rounds at the coin show in Brooklyn Center, MN and the Montana piece caught my eye.&nbsp; My mom was born and raised in Montana and most of her family is still out there.&nbsp; I have spent a lot of time in the state myself through my life, so this purchase was also a no brainer.&nbsp; I gave $75 for the Montana piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>The so-called half dollar pictured below was part of a set that I purchased from the creator of this thread, [USER=25416]@dwhiz[/USER] .&nbsp; Upon receiving the set, I immediately carried it over to my LCS for submission to NGC.&nbsp; There were eight pieces total and when they came back I was pleased as punch that the Pony Express got the grade it did.&nbsp; I sold the other seven pieces to my LCS for his inventory and ended up right about even on the whole deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ever since I was introduced to this So-Called aspect of our hobby, I peruse through them on a regular basis in the auction offerings.&nbsp; There are a lot that I would like to have but they either never come up or, when they do, they go for $$$.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1695147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1695148[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
