    This one arrived in the mail today, my first Redbook variety of 1823, this one an O-102 "Patched 3"

    I bought these two recently, I thought I needed a pillar type 8R, but turned out I already had one, but at least this is still a nice coin. I bought the 2-peso as I loved the obverse which is clearly unc, but the reverse got it the AU-58 grade.

    Here are some recent pick ups.

    Not usually the grades, but I do attribute Overton varieties to see if those match up!

    Wow, this has just been a week of sad news, so sorry to hear of Mr. Lange's passing, my sincere condolences to his family and all who were close to him. I also heard twice this week that two members of my local coin club also passed away, what a week!

    Just heard about this, hope all continues to go well for her!

    Well the last time this happened it seemed that all the 1952 issues depicted George VI, but all the 1953 issues depicted Elizabeth II, though I am not sure of the exact timing relative to coronation since I was not yet alive when that occurred.

    That's a fair point, however I don't recall them being released to the public prior to January. A number of world mints, however, release coinage well ahead of the year presented on the respective coins.

    I got this in the mail just today, and it's dated 2023, perhaps the RCM got a bit ahead of itself...

    It may not be news which directly impacts most of us, but since her image adorned billions of coins and notes for the past 70 years, it's certainly a historic day. Charles is now King, presumably Charles III but it will likely be another year or so until his coronation and perhaps a couple years before his image graces any coins.

    This one arrived yesterday, I bought it because it was pretty...
  13. jtryka
    Well that thing was probably printed between 1963 and 1965, so it's not much more ancient than I am!

    Almost forgot, picked this one up at a local show on Sunday.
  15. jtryka
    Picked this one up at the bank today, no motto.

    This one arrived in the mail today, a die marriage I didn't have!
  17. jtryka
    Yes, the 50-cent, $1, $2 and $5 coins were all silver.
  18. jtryka
    Here's a tin of random silver.

    On Bristol street.

    Not sure I posted that one, but here it is. I saw it in the teller's coin tray and said, looks like you got a silver quarter, and she said, "yes, want to trade me for it?" Affirmative!
  21. jtryka
    Yes, two silver dimes and a week or two before that I got a silver quarter from the bank.
  22. jtryka
    I think they were both D's.

    I found these in the coinstar reject bin a week or two ago.

    And picked this upgrade up at the Post Office on Saturday.
