Post your most recent acquisition: US

Is that a Vam-4, the Double Star on one of the stars to the left of the Date...or Does it have to have the Doubling in the Date, inside the "6" as well? Maybe Not but enjoyed looking super close up at your Coin, very cool...P.S. The Hallmark Holder reminds me of when I collected them, then sold them all at a fair price regardless really of the coin in them. Show in N.C. years ago is where I saw a large display of them. Not saying this coin is a VAM but some Day in Near future the last remaining odd Coin Holders will go, nice variety of holders over the years. I should work on Posting some Crazy stuff as far as Holders, in the Early Days I have one Israel coin graded in an Earliest one holder....Peace -

Reverse of '07 is an actively sought after coin. I collect multiples, the collector from Texas I met was seeking one. Over half the Dealers were buying them or offered to buy mine if I mentioned I had any. The other half of Dealers didn't care. A different collector I met from Texas said he was looking to get one. Who said so? The above persons did face to face with me. We were all physically standing on the convention bourse floor at the Broadmoore Resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on March 10th, 2022. I was purchasing a half cent for my 7070 and handing off a different coin in Private Treaty to a Dealer and then Picking a different coin up for my Personal Collection from an advanced dealer. I too did not read this in an article or book, or research. I spend time flying (Low # KTN), talking to people, in cars, SUV's and trains, sometimes boats. More importantly. I spend more time....LISTENING P.S. the Collector Exhibition was right next to the Registration, one Security Agent was a man I met from New York Law Enforcement...retired, and John Sullivan and I spoke about a double struck SAC... I'm inspired by this type of writing...I say we can't post it unless it was Face to Face....no drama, no books, no research..just straight up Numismatic "in the trenches" experiences... Like Dennis from Chattanooga, ANA would say..."I'd love to hear from you"...or how beautiful you know who's double struck walking liberty half at $55,000 is....yes, Face to Face Brothers....Next stop on the coin circuit.

Without reading any further posts from anyone but yours, Roger I can Truly say there's been your books I bought, read, shelved and went back to. When I read posts across the street from you I noticed the focus on facts. Obviously, unless a person is an insufficiently_thoughtful_person that kind of contribution to Numismatics is extremely important and thank you. That is my Emotion out if it. Emotion in it I would say be more positive about the ANA...we are under new leadership and better times ahead......peace P.S. I would ask if VKurtB had any educational qualifications or board experience in the areas prudent or with or without that but books sold to his name or pen name...or it doesn't matter anymore. -
My only attributed coin so far
Numismatic, A.A.S. replied to Robert S. Lahti's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
Just recently on the CAC Forum this was mentioned, as a collector you can study a series and learn more than dealers about it and build a great collection. Sometimes I give up on certain ones for many reasons and purchase. Everybody does it different. -

Found a "W" 25C
Numismatic, A.A.S. replied to Numismatic, A.A.S.'s topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
In Fantasy Coin Land I pretend the West Point Mint is a secret facility guarding all the error coinage and very large precious metal planchet supplies....in reality I can stack some W's up on the table and pretend also...this coin addiction thing... -
While traveling back I sometimes can't wait to check my change so after a heavy germ X on my hands I slung my loop out like a cowboy and confirmed what my eyes can't tell the best at night these days....so I got that excited feeling when I saw the "W" mint mark!! It was like the feeling I sometimes get after winning an auction, touching or looking at coins. 2019-W Business Strike 25C River of No Return

Thank you...the clash on yours where Washington neck line would hit is way more defined than that AU or EF45 of mine, so where it is somewhat nice, it lacks the aggressiveness of yours, like yours is more strong of a clash, I've seen that on a couple other ones... I'm gonna get some planchet clips together too but now I'm searching for other die clashes to share....saw that pic with them quarters everywhere, I enjoy searching for stuff like you but a guy at the bank got upset when I passed through Missouri last week, said many more people are looking through coins now...I thought, well, economy and tougher times might have a little do with it. It's not all about the 40% silver cuz you don't find much anymore, it's the missing "FG" and stuff like this I gravitate too!!......Peace
