    I likes me smoe Pilgrims! image

    I bought one a few months ago for a raw AU Dansco commem type set that turned out to be a pretty nice UNC piece.

    Here's the base of the Pilgrim monument in Provincetown, with a tired 8-year-old included for scale.

    How about some die clashing, and lots of die polish lines?

    mozin, the coin I purchased from Teletrade last week is the twin of your coin. Massive amounts of die polish and lots of clashing. The coolest clashes are on the reverse just above the stern of the ship. The letters "US" from "TRUST" on the obverse die are plainly visible. Definitely a cool coin.

    My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

    How about a nice obverse die crack, seldom seen on Classic Commemoratives?

    Mozin,

    Very interesting coin. Take a look at mine above. It has a similar crack in close to the same position although not as pronounced. I wonder if as the dies failed if they tended to crack in about the same location?

    Anyway... cool coin.
  • mozinmozin Posts: 8,755 ✭✭✭
    richardshipp,

    Thanks for pointing out your Pilgrim has a somewhat similar die crack. Obviously they are very different cracks, but both on 1920s. Very interesting.
