Wow the guitar is nice. The coin is awesome 😉
I just haven’t clicked on an early commemorative yet but there’s a pretty good assortment. There’s a couple but they live at an expensive place This one I want to be nice looking so I will have to pay more. There’s one somewhere 😉
Another trip to a LCS. This time it was the other one of two that I frequent. Time to say Happy Holiday's to the owner. After an hour of catching up these 10 Morgan's ended up in my pocket. I don't even collect Morgan's. I have no will power.
Not exactly a new purchase but made earlier this year. Bought a ring light from five below for 5$ and experimented taking pics of this 1878 Trade dollar Proof coin and vey happy with the result.
Okay. My obsession with this new ring light toy that cost 5$ from "five below" is getting to be too much since am supposed to be in bed resting (not yet fully recovered from the bout of Bronchitis).
The following is the latest pics of the 1908 no motto in OGH that my brother gifted me for my birthday this year.

Very generous of your brother, vulcanize!
Love big, old, gold.
Thank you. Am very grateful for such a wonderful and thoughtful gift since he was the primary reason I got back into the hobby. He wanted me to guide his 13 year old son and 10 year old daughter into the world of numismatics and philately and it has been an immensely fulfilling journey so far.

Golly gee, I wonder why Mr. Fairmont didn't get gold shield pictures for his hand picked collection. :rolleyes: I mean, it's not like this was in a really big bag for a century until someone found a fork lift that fit in the vault. Just sayin' maybe the slab should say "The Fairmont Bag" instead of collection. :mad:

I actually like your pic better, shows more crusty euro vault dirt originality
Just to prove some people never learn, I bought another one with a terrible pic off fleabay. Think this one was taken from a spy satellite and blown up:
Price was right but so far I've struck out twice with Libs bought over the Interwebzes. My $10 is almost as baggy as my $5. Got a nice semi-PL $20 for the type set anyways.

I need one of these for my type set and wouldn't you know it, there's one from The Fairmont "Collection" on eBay right now. This Fairmont guy clearly had a keen eye and only bought the best. Having this pedigree on my coins just makes PCGS seem so much more prestigious.. but gee, I still dunno if I should buy it:
I have to give the seller credit for accurate pictures though.
I had no clue our US mint actually created these........I wonder who was MG? Both on obverse and reverse design by the person.

Issued and sold by the U. S. Mint, these medals have an actual Silver content of 0.925 oz and commemorate Paul Revere's involvement in the battles of Lexington and Concord.

Proof Medal contains 1 oz of .925 fine Sterling Silver.
That’s not old. I was in HS. It is old? Oh I’m really old. Ya, I got it. My dang cat nearly spit his milk out hearing me post this. He’s turning 20 this year. That’s old🙀😉

Oh, yeah, and I bought this...

They were priced high by the mint but looks amazing in hand.

I know there’s talk of a silver hi relief with similar design. I hope so. Same as the Coast Guard and Air Force 1 oz medals this year.
