Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Cool coins!
Great coins @boiler78! Here are the full sized TrueViews
Very nice coin! Sold a long time ago! Here's the TV:
I've always been fascinated by the crossover between postage and coins!
It's fascinating that this was struck during the Civil War. It would be great to look up some background on these events.
Did any of these experiments result in actual postage tokens?
This one has a nice Bass-Simpson pedigree.
I know it's been said ad nauseam but why, oh why can we not have that kind of artistic design on today's coinage?
While this has been asked ad nauseam, I'm guessing the reason is that it's not important enough to work with our system of governance as I've never met a single person who has written their elected officials in Congress about this. For example, there was a bill to bring back older-style designs in 2013, but it didn't get enough support. I've never met a single person who said they wrote or spoke to Congress to support this bill.

I just picked up my first Saint!
Bass pedigree
One of only 3 HRs to receive specimen (SP) designation by PCGS, and the only one with CAC approval
Damn FFL that is one gorgeous specimen! Impressive pickup! If you are going to own just one.. why not that one
I liked this one as it was a Copper version of these experiments. I ran out of steam on bidding on this piece ... I would have gone another increment but I was holding out for a couple of latter pieces that I also liked and wanted - I wanted to balance out where I spent my money ,,, oh well. I did lose out on one of those later patterns as well even even though I had bid several times beyond what I had planned = but Patterns are so unpredictable.
OMG ... My Mother was Right about Everything!

What a great looking piece ... congrats on picking that one up ... a DCAM w/ CAC . I trust it looks just as nice in hand if not better? The Heritage Slab photos looks great
