SeanJ Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 How can you tell w/o seeing its 3rd side? Keith, Who carved the lines into the ocean? That coin should have been bagged IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clankeye-migration Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Don't listen to 'em, Keith. I love Monroes. And I like yours. They do not come well struck or without a lot of chatter much. Cool art deco design on the reverse. But, sigh, remember this is from a guy who loves Carvers and Booker T's. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirohniichan Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Cool ugly coin! The Monroe was the first commemorative I saw. My dad had a circulated example he pulled from change as a kid. I want to get one for my collection of California commemoratives, but I haven't found one with nice eye-appeal yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braddick Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Shiroh tapped into the "beauty" of this coin. I love the reverse- interesting concept. Like the engraver was on acid. The obverse? -Not the Mint's finest moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithdagen Posted November 14, 2002 Author Share Posted November 14, 2002 Carl, This piece is a real match for the Pilgrim I bought a few weeks back, and goes well with the BTW you sold me. I just need to get off my rear and ship an ANACS W-C with rainbowing to NGC soon, and I'll have a whole collection of cool toned commems going.

keithdagen Posted November 14, 2002 Author Share Posted November 14, 2002 It's not a pretty design, Braddick, so I made sure to get one with enough toning to try to cover it up. This was another Teletrash special that wasn't scanned worth a darn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
