An Overlooked Coin posted by Jackson

[CSJournals-migration]

A nice heads up from a fellow member

 

I have always enjoyed the hunt for a coin. Whether it is a high grade coin, a low mintage issue or just some variety for a themed set, the hunt ( and find, of course)has always been a large part of the enjoyment in the hobby for me.

 

I have had a recent find for a long sought issue for my mercury dime set--I'm in the process of offer/counteroffer right now but if all goes well I'll have located an affordable example of one of my top 5 wantlist coins.

 

Also I continue searching obscure mints, odd websites and niche sellers for additions to my bear themed set. Lo and behold, there were several under my nose!

 

Thanks to VUMC for the heads up on classic US commems. There are some with smaller/partial bear depictions and some with prominent displayed beasts.

 

My purchase this weekend--a 1925-S California 50c Commemorative half-- ( in a PCGS rattler.)

 

Happy Hunting everyone...and thanks to my fellow collectors who are always so quick with some directions and leads....

Nice Pick up Jackson! You mentioned the commems with the less prominent bears, but just in case you're not thinking of this one I'm posting the 1935-S San Diego commemorative from my seated imagery set..

Glad I could help out Jackson. I hope this one works out for you.
