That's always a good feeling. I remember when I got my one and only Faustina Egyptian Tetradrachm....that was a big one for me. Thanks for sharing that!

I got my loupe out and examined it very closely and looked it up on NGC variety plus. It is the 302 version. It is an exact match to one of the photos they provided. Thank you for the info. I would have never known to look it up if you hadnt mentioned that. Mohawk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Minus the typee I/F/O Liberty's schnozzola and some very very minor distractions, I would've requested your permission to proceed with conservation using the cutting-edge technology available. I used a small amount of Pepsi-Cola on my '66 Kennedy and contaminants I didn't even know were there, particularly in the reeding, simply bubbled to the surface. (Fortunately, for me, when 99.44% of the membership insists what you have, regardless of eye appeal is worth no more than melt, the Mad Scientist which resides in us all, asserts itself.) Very nice coin 'buf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I don't know from G.S.A., but at least we know C/C or not, the presence of the typee/tipi/teepee on a Morgan, is assessed at one point, though I suspect our straight-as-an-arrow, mince no words, highly regarded Mark Feld would beg to differ. Nice grade, nice coin, and a highly coveted mint-mark. 124Spider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s whitetail deer hunting country, not someplace for a guy living in Morningside Heights. Now if I want to find a truly awesome deli, I’ll hang out with you. I’ve eaten at THE Carnegie Deli.

Whomever had it took special care in handling it. No chaos, pitchforks, lacerations or abrasions. Just plain even wear. Even the denticles smile back at you! And I have a sneaky suspicion it originated out West before automobiles 🚘 and planes forced the horse to go the way of the bison 🦬.

We would walk from law school on Washington Square South to the ball fields on the East River for intramural softball Friday afternoons (balls hit over the fence in center field, into the East River, were outs). We always stopped at Katz's on the way back to Washington Square. It's a long-time legend.
