<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 26712644, member: 10103"]More specifically, finding a 1937 D Boone Centennial. And I probably paid too much for it, but these danged things don't come to auction all that often. After all, with a mintage of 2506 issued it is exceedingly elusive. Top that with the auction house having it listed with mintage of 9810 I wound up in an energetic dog fight with another bidder at the end. But it's mine, all mine, and my date and mintmark collection for this series is complete. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I originally set out to complete this set with no rules and any grade, but I found that most of the venues offering this series (auction) were passing them off at '65 and above, so that's what I strived for. It has been close to a two year junket and I'm done and on to another commem series. Arkansas? Texas? I dunno, maybe I'll just save my 'jing' and somewhere down the line I'll land a nice Hawaiian.......</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1705512[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1705513[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1705514[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1705515[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1705516[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1705517[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]1705518[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
