    Check those warnicks for lamination errors.

    Also, check them for the 1943/2 overdate.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    There are also tons of RPMs and several nice doubled dies.

    Your buying at this show seems very unfocused.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Yes thanks, I did. Found 11 very cool ones, some toned, as well! Nothing else, though.
    I'll post some later.

    Went to a local show in Colorado springs Saturday and picked up a nice 1919-S standing Liberty Quarter.

    Exactly. It is used for backlighting currency to check for folds and pinholes:

    @jacrispies Agree that is looks like an original racketeer nickel. The platting shows circulation wear and the added reeded edge was very well executed. The gold-plated racketeer nickels of more recent vintage usually don't have the added reeded edge.

    @BillJones Phenomenal strike and surface quality on her as well! That was a great pickup. Thanks for sharing!

    Yep, that's what the 'real' racketeer nickels should look like. I've seen a lot of them with worn plating from the era but the ones where the edge has been reeded are not easy to find.

    Couldn't pass up a likely contemporary gold plated V nickel with worn plating and a well engraved reeded edge for $5.

    Sorry I missed the Lakeland show, @BillJones , sounds like there were some worthwhile coins.

    Expecting to buy nothing at the recent Melbourne show, I was surprised to find this buried in a lot of unpriced low grade early copper. I already have multiple examples in higher grade, but couldn’t pass it up.
