leeg Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Victor those are "Super" Nice!!!!!!!!!!!! Was the only bidder on this one from the Heritage Long Beach Signature Auction: Lavender and sunset-orange converge in the patina of this Art Deco commemorative. Solidly struck and lustrous, with dark toning noted on the obverse between 5 and 9 oclock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ_E Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Thanks for the compliment, Lee. I still really appreciate the acquisitions that I got from you. The obverse of you commem is nothing less than awesome! It brings the tree to life and gives the coin so much character!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Lee, the CT is my favorite commem and if your coin looks in-hand like it does in the images then it is truly special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ_E Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 You're going to pass me in the type set in no time, Victor! If I got some of my raw type graded then I would add probably 6000 points onto the score. Maybe someday... I can't wait to see the AU 1794 Large Cent that Hoot sent me. It will be extremely nice. Also, James Garcia has a 1795 half that a buyer left him hanging on so, just maybe, that baby will be mine? What did you think of my image of your dime? I think that I could have brought the colors out better but I needed another light to do that. Still, it more closely resembles the coin w/o a direct light source. By the way, Tom, thank you so much for this coin! And why have you made no comment on the pseudo-picture that I posted of you on the face behind the poster thread?

MikeKing Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 That CT coin is very pretty. I have to aggree with Tom, it's a nice design. Perhaps I''m biased, now living in CT, but that oak tree is so typical and so is the eagle, which is so large, it's outstanding. Tone that up with a little brown, and you've got Connecticut on a coin. Nice. I'd show mine, but I had it crossed to PCGS and I think they forgot to photo it. I'll take photos of it now that it's in a new holder. will be easier. The NGC holder it was in looked like someone rubbed it with brillo, so photographing it was too frustrating for me to keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MunkyMan95 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I like yours better too, and for $140 more, it should be. I wanted for my type set in PO-G.

MunkyMan95 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I'm gonna do it John. I've wanted this coin for a long time, even longer than the peace dollar, and for $25 I just had to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wihlborg Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Here are two more So Called Dollar’s for my collection that just arrived today. The first is a HK-462 It is struck in bronze and it is graded MS-66 by NGC. It is listed in Hibler & Kappen as very scarce, meaning only 251 to 500 pieces known, and at this time it is tied with one other in the NCG census as the finest known. The second medal is a HK-559. This one is graded MS-67, and while not a particularly rare medal overall, this example is the only MS-67 graded by NGC, with only three other examples graded higher at MS-68. It is struck in gilt bronze and is much nicer in hand then my photos depict. As always, comments and questions are welcome. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ_E Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Wow, John, you have so outstanding, high-grade examples of some incredible SCD's! I went on an ebay tangent buying them for awhile and got the HK book as well. It is a fascinating area the is getting to be increasingly popular. Of course, my favorites will always be the US 1876 Centennial medals. Do you have any examples of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
