A humble purchase, but unfortunately it is all that my budget will allow right now.

 

 

 

Zach, some of my favorite coins were "humble purchases"! (thumbs u

Hello friends, Bourbon Trailer back. I will figure out the pictures tonight, but I thought I'd make my Christmas wish in early May. My next acquisition will be a MSxx 1932-D Washington Quarter. It has taken me 12.5 years of saving and cracking coins from slabs, but I have finally managed to get my Washington set completely in BU. The Dansco folder is complete, with proofs. Unfortunately, the 1932-D is driving me nuts. I am a true completist collector. I purchased a 1932-D on Ebay, paid some pretty high coin, and I am pretty sure that someone has been playing with their alchemist set. It has some toning that does not pass my smell test for natural. If I post her, can you boys give a peek and see what you think?

 

Thank you. You seem like a freindly and supportive bunch.

This is my latest acquisition - an S-235 1802 Draped Bust Large Cent. There's a nice rim cud @ 1 o'clock on the obverse and a weak strike in the date/breast area and on the opposite side of the coin in the "OF" area. I believe this to be a Sheldon 235 variety but I may be wrong so confirmation would be appreciated. Also, there are signs of past corrosion so this has been cleaned at some time.

Yes Bobby, these are tokens made in 2002 based on the original designs submitted by Schlag for the Jefferson nickel, the lettering is slightly different and the reverse is of Monticello at a slight angle rather than straight on. These were minted in 999 silver I believe.

I really like those Jefferson nickel design tokens and they are still available, I believe, from the FSNC.
