My latest acquisition: I think these are very undervalued. What do you guys think?

Gem Washington quarters from the 30's and 40's. A great bargain in numismatics.
ebay item: 1386481854. I love the portrait. It kind of makes you appreciate them more
after looking at the smaller statehood portrait. The coin came in and I love it.
See link in post below. Thanks python.

Thanks for the link fix Python. Its coins like these that really make me happy. I always love to add
them to my collection. The portrait reminds me that Flanagan's portrait is just as nice as Frasier's

A very nice buy, now treat Georgie good!

George will be treated as nicely as all the other presidents, or perhaps a little better.

No problem, these are so much better looking than the state quarters.

I don't understand why they felt compelled to shrink the portrait for the state quarters.

That's my great, great great great, great, great, great, great, great great, great uncle there!

I wonder how detailed the hair can get in EDS strikes? That's how I would collect these.

Very nice!

Here's an interesting story I enjoy sharing every once and awhile. In my area where I live there was once a Colonel Stroup (my last name), and every so often someone would salute me. Early on in life I mostly ignored it, thinking it was some kind of jester. But it didn't take me long to finally
ask one individual why he kept saluting me and to my surprise he said, "aren't you related to the great Colonel Stroup?" I was familiar with who he was referring to because some years ago
my parent's reservations at a restraunt were canceled because he had died. And I remember my dad saying "I'm not dead yet." and we left. So now-a-days when someone salutes me I tell them, I'm not related to Colonel Stroup but that I am related to that great General who led the Revolutionary war. The funny thing is, after I tell someone that, they could care less that I'm related to George Washington.
I might as well add that I'm also related to William Penn and Danial Boone and the kingship of the Berkleys of England. So not only do I have the blood of a great General and President but I also carry a little royality as well. LOL
