back from my local dealer EDITED :bigger pics!

Traded off some common MS Morgans and talked to him a while, wound up spending over an hour going over rarities and set a "course of action" for my type set. I knew I could trust his judgement as I have bought some minor pieces from him and had them turn out solid on his grade or even a point higher. I learned a lot in that short time, and I mean a LOT. He is very understanding and only wants to see me as a collector to go for better pieces all within my budget. He will work the shows he goes to looking for my wanted pieces. After we settled on the Morgans, I went "shopping" Pulled out a 42 Merc FSB which is a gorgeous blast white, with an obvious die clash on the reverse, and another more subtle one that he pointed out to me. The other one I picked up was a 1851-O 3-cent silver Variety 1. He has welcomed me back to go through some album fillers for my common stuff, so that we can talk some more and go through some other details in my "education" toward a type set.

    Nice coins, but we would appreciate them a lot more if they were larger. 4k sized pictures are just a tad small.
