Very nice Quarter Larry, nice additions everyone actually. Here is one of my new ones, a Commemorative for the San Francisco Mint 1874-1934, thought it was interesting. When held correctly in the light some very nice purples and blues are evident throughout the states. Notice the S Mint Mark.

That is a beautiful coin. WOW

That is the current Coat of Arms for Cuba. As far as customs, I am not familiar with the requirements, prohibitions, but it was purchased from an individual here in the states. (wish there would have been a cigar included though, always wanted to try one)

Rey

Nice ones all. Here are two of my newest. The first is an 1947 Centennial Commemorative for Thomas Alva Edison 1847-1947. The second is a 1997 Cuba Proof Commemorative of 150 years of Railway for the Spanischebrotli Railway 10 Pesos.

(Please excuse the looming image on the second obverse peering into the field of the coin - I should have gotten out of the way. Also, as I mentioned previously I am acquiring some of the limited pieces dealing with Edison since my father collected Antique Light Bulbs as well as coins. I recently discovered something that makes such a unique connection in regards to our collection - will reveal in a future post)

Simple yet interesting for different reasons

Rey

I have not been over here in awhile, so trying to get caught up. Some lovely pieces everyone. This one is not that special but the toning/patina is unbelievable, I wish my images did it justice. Thanks to Doogy for this obscure pick up.

I don't have many Morgans but this one I like. 1897 MS 65

Rey

One last one recently acquired from Russ as well, 1946 Iowa Commemorative PCGS MS 65.

Another Commemorative from Russ (Collecticoin). PCGS MS 64 Cleveland

A recent acquisition to add to my commemoratives, from Russ (Collecticoin). 1925 Lexington Commemorative MS 62.

Absulutely beautiful MPL Bob, nice Barbers showing up here too.

Rey

Very nice everyone, I too love that Trime, nice Barber as well.

This one is not as "interesting" as those but as a new addition to my collection it does mean something. My father not only collected coins but also collected antique incandescent lamps (light bulbs) and even has some Edison originals. I saw this and decided to pick it up. PCGS PF 69 2004

Rey

Lee,

Thank you so much for the history, I was just beginning to research. I love this medal and the info. you provided is excellent.

Rey

Since this thread seems to get more traffic than the token/medal thread, I wanted to share this latest acquisition here. A commemorative coin celebrating the 250 year Pilgrim Jubilee Memorial. 1620 to 1870 (date of the piece). Although it is bronze or copper which is evident and is toned, the details on this are magnificent and so detailed. I am in the process of investigating the orign of this any input would be greatly appreciated.i

Rey

Exceptional Lee.

Here are two new Peace Dollar acquistions from Doogy, that are replacing two that were in our collection that had been "wiped" unfortunately.

The 22 used to be in a PCGS Holder MS 64 and the 22 D is NGC MS 64.

Thank you Doogy.

Rey

Dwaine,

Nice Lincoln and yes thd 1970 S Tripled Die Obverse is listed in the CP guide. Described as a moderately strong tripled die, with equal separation between hubbings visible on date, Liberty and motto. Look at the L and B in leberth and the 7 and 0 in the date. USS 9 First discovered in 1985, for some reason has not received much popularity among specialists.

I think it is a very nice addtion, congratulations.

Rey

Are you using photobucket, 640 by 480 seems to work, unless someone can correct me on that.

Rey

Harvey,

Nice pick up there, mine has reverse damage so need to replace at some point. Here are two I purchased yesterday from our fellow member Doogy in order to upgrade the 1922 and 1922 D in our collection.

Thank you Doug,

Rey

I had posted this on the Numimatic Tangents Forum inquiring about it's origin, or any other information. Thanks to Chris, Tom and others who provided me with great resources this afternoon to better understand this piece.

1892 Liberty Head Dollar (So Called Dollar) HK-220. (251-500 pieces known - is that correct Chris?)

As Tom B described it in so many words, perhaps not value but coolness is the attraction of this piece, and I totally agree.

$28.00

1947 S MS 66 Washington

Tom,

That is a beautiful coin, nice addition and thank you for showing us. Tremendous to say the least.

Rey

Bob,

That is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh this evening.

Rey

Nice coins and images all, love those Franklins. Here is a 1956 from a Double Mint set.
