It's presently 13 degrees and snowing....Nice day for coins and books and music. The joys of life indeed.
I love interesting displays, so here is one from 1914. My Barber half in PF-67+ CAC, which was in Eugene Gardner's collection and a quite rare red seal $20.00 Federal Reserve Note. @pursuitofliberty is responsible for this new addiction, and I must say, these large size notes are just soooo cool. Help me, I'm falling!
Hello everyone... it's been a while since I've posted (new job) but today is exceptional. My brother sent me his coin collection and from the looks of the books and holders, they appear to be stuff he collected when we were kids... he's 10 years older than me and would have started his collection in the early 1960s. I just started unpacking but here's what I've run across so far...
Collecting: Dansco 7070; Middle Date Large Cents (VF-AU); Box of 20;
I've never seen the wrappers for Silver Dollars... the paper military money was likely from when my father was stationed at (what was then) Frankfurt, West Germany. The rolls look to have been opened on one end... I'll go through each later. There is a "roll" of uncirculated Roosie dimes in a plastic tube... look to all be 1960.
I have no ideas about the Chinese shovel money... obviously looks corroded but I suppose I'd expect that from a 2500 year old shovel...

Here is my lone MB59 win. Was supposed to be delivered this morning (a surprise to me) but came shortly after noon. No more coffee but am enjoying a coffee stout
In hand it is everything I like in a CBH. Great luster and dirty.

Bought this one at a local coin show this morning. Had a cup of coffee at the concession stand.
Nice one! @DNADave

Frosty, low cost widgets I picked up at a local show yesterday.
Enjoying my new coin cabinet.

Nice coins everyone. Great coin cabinet @Wahoo554
Stuck at work all day, so no coins for me today. An abundance of coffee though.
