Herb Jepko's 10th Anniversary Nightcaps International Association
.
This caught my attention, yes its basically a silver round but when I did a short google search this guy was pretty interesting.
Starting from almost nothing and within 15 years or so had an international radio show with a good amount of followers.
Since his listeners regarded the show as a community, he created a club for them in mid-1964. A year after the Nitecaps International Association was born, there were more than 25,000 active members.
.
This was a radio show of wholesome values being discussed with political andreligion not allowed to be discussed.
Back then as well as now this is not the norm.....
"Description: The repunched date is clearly vertically doubled at the 1 and 8 of the date, with the serif and left base of the 1 nicely separated. The center top repunching of the 8 looks like two horns."
"CPG Comments : Early die states can show clashing on the obverse" (wheat grains show from the reverse on the first two vertical shield lines)

Even tho these are a modern series starting in 1993 some of the dates are VERY hard to come by. I've been working on this set for around ten years and I still lack a couple of dates.
I got this last week. I wasn't sure how much I'd like the color but once I got it in hand I found it to be very attractive! I love the contrast between the mint green and my black PCGS boxes. My best stuff-Buffalo 5c proofs and major varieties-will reside there.
Big thanks and shout out to @USSID17 ! He was very generous and sent me the remaining 3 2019-W's I needed for me to complete a set of 2019-W's. Thank you very much!

Ron,
I'm going to my brother's home in Ga this weekend and his son and family will be in from Prague. Tell me what dates you are missing and perhaps he could help when he returns home. He has lived there for 35 years now.

Picked up yesterday.
I bought two of the 2020 mint sets way back in February (I think?) from the Mint when the Mint sets first came out. The Mint excluded these W Jefferson's. They should have came with the Mint sets!
Well, I bought one separate.

Gotta love those 100% White coins. And "Mintage Unknown" - how bout 4,847,549 -
The coin was still being minted at the time the coin was slabbed so it was impossible to know the final mintage. Also, this coin was 100% white at the time it was slabbed but the silver reacted with the slab insert over time. This was a common occurrence with this brand of slab.

The one that is drooling will no doubt be the best investment of the thread!!
Even tho these are a modern series starting in 1993 some of the dates are VERY hard to come by. I've been working on this set for around ten years and I still lack a couple of dates.
Today's new purchase.
Here's a new one for the type set. My first purchase from Gerry Fortin:

I already posted these but thought it would be fun to add then to this tread as well 👍
I absolutely love these

"That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante"
It came with an LM-13 sticker on it. I'm not terribly familiar with half-dime attribution, but I assume Gerry knows what he's doing.
Correct an LM 14 obv.6 rev. Q an R 3
Nice coin and yes have talked to Gerry many times at the Baltimore show.

Thank you, Jim. I still need the 2000 and the 2005. Both are very tough dates.

I love "woodies" wood toned coins. Couldn't pass on these two.

Nothing special, just had some Ebucks to spend and added this one to my circulated FE collection......

Always wanted a 1893s and since I primarily deal only face to face it sometimes takes a while getting what I want.
Next on my list is a a 1995w eagle.
Picked up yesterday.
I bought two of the 2020 mint sets way back in February (I think?) from the Mint when the Mint sets first came out. The Mint excluded these W Jefferson's. They should have came with the Mint sets!

This officially completes my IHC Dansco collection. 1869/69 FS-303 S-4, unattributed on the slab but purchased from EERC.
I have bought very little lately but I did get this today to fill out my classic gold types a bit.

I picked up this toned 1881 Morgan. Looks better in hand as you can imagine.
Just got this one from Mrs_Spud as a 27th wedding anniversary present🌞
