Newest Commem Addition

[Weidel Legacy Collection]

Here's the newest addition to my commems. My apologies as the image is a bit darker than the actual coin...I'm still playing with lighting.

 

The coin shows some neat peripheral toning and has a very nice natural skin to it.

really sweet coin

 

can you imagine a 52 piece type set of all these different coins with the same great eye appealling original look

 

and i think their time will come soon in the numismatic sun

 

and the collectors of these coins will be pleasantly surprised

Very nice San Diego RWW! I too am working on a early commem set. I expect it to take me quite some time to finish, should I be lucky enough to live long enough! Just picked up the 2 volume set of National albums for them and will fill it very slowly!

 

I've put a max of $100 per coin. Maybe a little higher if the condition warrants, but should be able to pick up quite a few at this price (have already done pretty good).

This has helped me find my collecting interest again past FS Jeffs!

Great looking coin RWW! When does this one and the Monroe go into NGC?

Mark -

The Monroe Commem is already on its way to NGC along with a nice bunch of other toners. I have my fingers crossed on them

 

The San Diego commem is already slabbed MS65 by NGC. I lucked into a real deal rom Jonathon Kern He advertises in CW and usually has lots of neat ancient stuff from Greece, Rome, etc. His ad two weeks ago had a sidebar of classic commems and the prices were very good. So I took a shot and ordered the San Diego from him along with a BTW and GW Carver to fill in holes. All 3 coins are above average and better than expected - but the San Diego half really blew me away.

The first thing that I thought of was that that coin had a really original, pleasing patina. This is just what you want a coin to look like.

Congratulations on obtaining a really nice example! I particularly like the original skin and patina your coin displays. Even though more commonly found, San Diego is one of my favorite Commemorative coins. I love its design.
