Well, you can set them into your 1911 stocks!

I was actually looking for two 1911 $2.5 Indians in junk condition, but no luck and I wasn't about to ruin two good ones.

    Super 1911. I notice the details. Looks like an aftermarket bushing on there as well as the obvious. Well done. I have a 4-digit 1911 (not A1) beater and an STI 4.15 Tactical with a TLR-2 hanging off it and accuracy/trigger work done here in SLC.

    Great idea on the dimes . . . .

    Hang on to them and if any one should try to steal either of those, plug ‘em.

    Excellent idea. Love the look, never would have thought to do that!

    Hey folks,

    Let's keep the discussion on US Coins.
    It is starting to veer off track to be a gun post, lets get back to coins.

    Thanks

    I agree. It's fitting and correct.

    Makes the .45 look great.

    Over 18 million were minted, so I don't think it hurts to display it like that.

    I’ll have to look for a few 1911 dimes for my 1945 model. I had over 50 1911 $2 1/2 Indians that would have looked nice as well.
