Lem E got a reaction from Hoghead515 in U.S. Mint re-issue. What’s your pick?
Yea I thought you would be able to nominate anything and not have to pick from a list. I also wish they would do a re-issue of the coin as it was and not a gold coin unless it was a gold coin to start with.

NGC shipped my submission of Top 100 Morgans on Friday. The first four were yellow label ANACS coins and the last one was a raw coin I bought. I will post one coin a day with before and after photos to show how I did. I think I did okay. Hope you enjoy it, jimbo27.

Lem E reacted to Henri Charriere in U.S. Mint re-issue. What’s your pick?
I took the quiz... and somehow feel disappointed. In fact, cheated! If you're going to go through all the trouble of re-issuing the 1909 VDB, why wouldn't you include the S.F. mintmark? Some designs already enjoy current use. I have nothing against S.L. Walkers, but aren't they already being accommodated in bullion?
Some really interesting greatly appreciated but seldom seen examples are lost in the sauce while the Kennedy Half is promoted as one pick. Why aren't the ones being minted now being distributed for circulation? When's the last time someone even got one in change?
I'll not say anything more, but if you talk classic coins the first thing that comes to mind are "obsolete" coins which have long been withdrawn from circulation. Whole categories of wonderful series were overlooked. It's supposed to be a tribute to the 250th anniversary of the U.S. and instead of re-introducing the Two-Cent piece, the first to feature the motto IGWT, we've got apparatchniks shoving wild-haired coppers down our collective throats.
I am going to write the BEP and push for re-issuance of the "Educational Series" of notes.
Thank you @Lem E for the sneak preview!

Lem E reacted to J P M in My Find of the Day
Ya Greg I found that in a common bank roll. I was going to send it out I believe it is a Ragged Fisher.
I will keep what I call book coins. I save Cents, Nickels and Quarters. I cherry pick anything above AU. Over time I save 3 to 5 of each year then take the best one's and get a folder to put them in. I also save any die cracks or clash's depending on the severity. You can just buy complete sets but then you miss all the fun stuff. Like this rare 2009 D. It is beat up but try and find one in pocket change . This is how I save coins by date.

Lem E got a reaction from rrantique in Post your most recent acquisition: US
I don’t open any of the rolls. All I can see are the enders. This is just a little side project of mine. I went all out with the mint roll boxes to put this set together. I have boxes for the next 2 years as well. I would venture to guess mostly 65 and 66 coins with the occasional 67 out of these rolls. Probably the same results from a fresh fed bank roll.

Lem E got a reaction from powermad5000 in Post your 5 cent pieces.
Here is the other one. 1943 P/P VP-007 / CONECA RPM-004. One of the many RPMs for the Philly 5 cent coins of 43. Repunched northeast of the first punch. This is the 2nd P/P example in my collection with the other being the VP-008.

Picked up another couple of RPMs for the collection. The first one is this 1942 S/S VP-004 / CONECA RPM-004. The repunch went north leaving just a little of the first impression peeking out of the bottom. The image from variety plus also shows the die crack. There has to be some without it too out there.
