    Well, @MidLifeCrisis 's posts about colonials inspired me to buy this coin, a Chalmers 3 Pence piece from CRO. It's AU 53+.

    Excellent! I'm very happy I could help inspire you. That 3 Pence is beautiful!

    In junk silver today!1920s.

    I'm starting to have doubts on the 1920s? Maybe a fake? The detail near her face, hair and wing, looks too clean and crisp. Whatcha guy's think? I know the pics don't help. Lol thanks. :D

    Update

    I did weigh it. It is the norm, 2.5

    Just showed my dealer friend. He gave it the big OK. So, I just sent it in to our Host. My friend was very excited when he seen the coin! Were hoping for a MS 64 FB. Fingers crossed. Thanks.

    Thanks Jon - I wish I had this one already covered. It's actually my first soiree into the Capped Bust "Fattie" HE series. While I've been somewhat tracking and looking for a nice example (such as under-bidding on the P58 OGH/CAC example that was offered on GC back in April 2019, and now offered on HLRC's website), I seem to have always fallen just short (or too late) to bring one in. This is one that had been offered on a dealer's site for a few months, and we had bantered a bit back and forth on price and payment terms. I was just in the middle of re-financing the home, so I was trying to hold off on any significant purchases due to the refi process. Timing being what it was... I finally negotiated a deal I was comfortable with and brought this one home. It's in an NGC XF-45 CAC holder... a little lower-grade than what I was after, but I am pleased with the look of the coin.

    Got Crust....y gold?

    I love Fatheads....great choice for a new set...If you ever decide to upgrade this 1813 please let me know...I know how selective you are so it must be a great coin!!

    The huge variety of coins that are posted here is extremely neat. Each of us has our own likes and each of us is thrilled when we get a coin that fits what we like. While I cannot easily see what attracts some people to some coins, I can easily see how happy we are when we receive them. And that makes this thread a lot of fun!

    Very well put Mark!!!
