FUN Newps and major milestone

16 posts in this topic

Finally got a chance to image some of my FUN newps, but more importantly, I finally finished putting together a set with the purchase of this guy at the Heritage auction Friday. :banana:

Thursday I found this one for my prime number set, so I'm slowly closing in on that list, too (6 to go for my box of 29).

I also bought a couple Dansco-worthy raw Franklins to keep touch with my album filling roots.

That's a nice looking Hawaiian, John!

 

You know, if you had waited a little while longer, you might have had a nice cud on that shield nickel.

That Hawaiian is really quite attractive. The subtle coloring on the obverse is a little more pronounced in hand. Congrats on finishing your set.

 

Did you ever find a nicely toned Bust Half so you could join our little club? ;)

Actually, that's a planchet defect, not a die break.

I did look at a couple 1827s, one of which was an attractive raw XF with a little color, but couldn't pull the trigger because I was already rather depleted.

Oh, okay! I didn't have my telescope with me.
