Happy Saturday to all. Mixing things up today. Got my Peloton ride in but getting ready to head out for donuts and coffee. Tough part will be only eating 2 (or 3).
Afterwards I plan to continue to work on building a catalog of my Classic Head sets. Time intensive but will be a great thing to pass down with the coins. Next up, the CBH collection. Enjoy the day.

Having a cup on the porch, watching the leaves fall from the trees. My favorite time of year.
Here is a relic medal struck from copper taken from some Confederate works in Newbern. One of the Massachusetts Regiments brought it back to Boston, where Merriam struck these fairly early in the war.

My body hurts this morning. There's a new bike in the garage ready to be put together, but kayaking on the river yesterday when the water was still swollen from the recent rains was probably NOT the best idea. Learned alot about this river, and even had a really good fish on (for maybe 5 seconds) ... but paying it for it this morning.
The bike will have to wait a couple hours.

Ahhhh, sipping the Saturday AM Red Eye & contemplating where I’m headed with these. I’ve acquired a handful of nice gold coins recently. It seems I’m going for type examples, but who knows? All I know is I’m enjoying this avenue of my collecting as there’s not much left for me with my IHC’s & Flyers (except for the “can’t resist” nice ones that may happen by). Here’s my latest “goldie”:
AU55 CAC with Newman pedigree.
A shoutout & kudos to Peak Rarities (fka “Deplorabe Dan”). He has provided me lots of help & his expertise in this endeavor. This piece is the latest I’ve bought from him.

Maybe Saturday morning with coffee stains on coins. I get nervous drinking coffee around coins. 🤣 😉

Had a nice coffee this AM and a random Red Bull (first one in 5 years). Tastes as bad as I remember lol
