Enjoying my coffee in this early afternoon!!! I was able to pick up these two for my Mexico 1 real collection (my main interest) recently:
What's cool is these coins may have circulated in the English colonies.

Happy Saturday! This thread is going to make a bust half collector out of me yet.
Spending the morning with a couple of chocolate brown large cents, and a cup of Breakfast Blend.
I learned a lot about grading/attribution of LC's from looking at the Grellman cards and auction notes... Nice to see she found a good home!

Good morning, compadres. My second anniversary badge showed up today—thanks for letting me hang out with you. Here’s one to recognize the “rogues’ holiday”.
Happy Saturday, everyone!
Some killer gold this weekend! I might as well join in. 😎
These aren’t from the set in my sig line but these beauties make a great B-squad.
@Downtown1974 Thank you buddy, and I just checked out your 12 piece gold set, and it's really beautiful. I can tell you worked a lot choosing the right pieces! Very nice set.
Great coins everybody!
Here is a somewhat recent pick up. It’s a secondary coin for my set as well as I already have one better, but I liked the coin, I liked the holder and the price was right.
Good morrow, ladies and gents. Time to caffeinate over some metal discs.
Here is an interesting piece that Im researching that is struck from the metal pipes from the organ in the Old North Church in Boston:
Rulau lists it as having been struck in 1885 by Robert Woodman for the Literary Association Fair. Im wondering if it's a bit older. Rare piece!

I had hoped to have a newp to show this morning. The plan was to attend the Central States show, say hi to Deplorable Dan and others and find a new Lady or two.
Instead I had a surprise visit with my Brother (actual Brother, not coin Brother ) as he made his way through from his winter home to summer home. Great visit and made my moms day.

Thanks Cat! She lights up a room with her color and luster. Fortunate to have her in the set. Here is the reverse.

Love that little stunner of an 1861 Eldo posted above - certainly my favorite image of a coin I've ever taken.

Seller shipped me the wrong coin hence why I am editing my post. Never received the proper coin I had posted here.
