There was a spontaneous declaration by a member, firmly expressing his dislike of the term "specimen," without further elaboration. I had no opinion about the term because it appeared to mean different things to different people at different times and places. I realize now, in light of varying members' enlightening remarks, that the term was being used imprecisely as a marketing descriptor To the non-collector, it's use by a numismatist evokes "something special and rare." 🤔 R__Rash and CIII 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 @Woods020 I have a confession to make: the posting of your coin has inadvertently brought to my attention a character flaw which virtually assures I would be unsuitable as a grader... There are a number of factors graders automatically take into consideration, but I do something apparently no one else does. Lady Justice ⚖️ is blindfolded as she well ought to be. I am biased, prejudiced and not at all open-minded. Proof? At some point, subconsciously, I must know who posted a coin before I can formulate an opinion! I know it is shameful to admit to shortcomings, but it's the truth. It is quite possible I love your coin, but for all the wrong reasons. 😉 R__Rash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Woods020 Posted January 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2022 I bought a roll of these a few years ago just because it was a good price on the silver. I can’t really get it to show on my iPhone pics but these are probably the biggest luster bombs of anything I own.

If these were my friends, I would advise the oldest in the grouping to occupy dead center and each of the other five to be arranged clockwise aligned vertically, next older first, and ending with the latest year of Issue in the 10 to 11 position. In NYC, this would be characterized, at the least, as disorderly conduct, at least, or conspiracy to commit a misdmeanor, which some may be a felony, at worst. I love Walkers and the fact Weinman's design was chosen over all others to represent American bullion dollars speaks volumes.
