PT Barnum showed up for dinner tonight courtesy of the US Mail. Number 27 in my quest for the 50 pc type set.

Nice Eagle!

I love that coin, although, it's funny we're spending over 100$ for a nice half dollar with the man who said "theres a sucker born every minute" on it.

That guy looks kind of shady.

Hey Man.....ofcoins

It's holdered. I took a risk on an ebay auction with a questionable scan. Price was right and this one is a nice original coin but not really what I am looking for. It will hold a place in the collection for a while until the right one comes along. You can check out a composite of the rest of my collection with the link below.

Congrats on starting your commem set. I am sure you will enjoy collecting them as much as I do.

Bridgeport has to be my least favorite commemorative. The old clown looking guy and the eagle that looks like a whale-shark.

Nice coin for what it is though. Yours looks nice and clean considering the large flat areas the coin comes with.
