I definitely like what you collect, you collect some very interesting pieces!
I have a stick pin similar, but it’s a gold dollar, so I’m bending the rules on the 1913 just this once.
Even in mere XF, '13-D T2 commands a good price. One just doesn't see this date with a full Buffalo horn offered that often at shows.
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”
“Then you trust more to your imagination than to your knowledge?”
“I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

@HoledandCreative said: @Asheland Thanks. Nice 1851C pin. Did you see that 53C pin on eBay? I think it brought 601.
I don’t believe I saw that one.
A year or two ago, I forget exactly, the coin shop I work in, the owner bought a collection from a customer, I wasn’t even around when he bought it. Later I was looking at the pile of stuff and I saw the stick pin, turned it over, and without fail it was a Charlotte! At first, I thought it was fake, but we checked it carefully to some certified examples and matched some diagnostics. I ended up buying the piece because it was in great condition considering the fact it was on a pin. It was polished, but not that bad, really, a lot of detail remains…
And I did, indeed, leave it as a stick pin because I find that stuff very cool!

Thank you! Indeed, when I saw it, I was instantly drawn to it very very strongly. I had to have it!
Definitely an example of a coin, talking to me!
Thank you for the compliment.

It's one of the best I've seen. An overlooked very scarce first year coin.

I guess it was a good pick up as my type coin for the Buffalo nickel…
I like to try to find fine examples of each type for my type set.
I am also looking for a nice type one, but I’m very picky, so I’ll have to see that perfect coin before I pull the trigger.
I appreciate everybody’s feedback on this one!
