    It looks like his wife is also in the back row: "Mrs. E.S. Sears, Swansea." Caveat emptor! (Maybe that's why the lady to Mrs. Sears' right/our left has such a dour expression: "Curses! Foiled again!"

    Kind regards,

    George

    Kennedy didn't wear a hat, and that was the end of hats in this country.

    Kind of like royalty of old setting the styles....


    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    There are videos that start out like this...not that I have ever seen of course, just from what I have been told.

    dpoole nailed it.......John Kennedy is exactly when I stopped wearing hats

    Theda Bara and Gloria Swanson must have had a conflict... Sad.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    If they are buying truly rare coins. If you are filling Whitman folders they will not even look in your direction, unless you have something else going for you. Regardless of gender it is all about $, and more is better. The tomato you get depends on the lettuce you have.

    I may sell my collection. Maybe that's just a bad picture but none are my type. :s Most look older than my coins.
