Some Diverse and Unique Charmy NEWPS!!

ThePennyLady

Here are a few more coins I recently acquired that Todd just photographed for me.

I have a nice 1897 "1" in the neck (MS64), but happened across this one so I bought it as an upgrade....




I also got this cool "error" in the auction. I know the story about the guy from the mint actually creating these, but I think they are really interesting, and I love the toning on this particular one....




This is just the scarcer type 1860 (pointed bust) that I needed for my collection. It is very pretty with blazing luster,and has a great strike.




To me, this is one of the prettiest and incricately designed Civil War Tokens - I bought this one raw and sent it to be graded (yes, I know they spelled "Draped" wrong)....




I also bought this one raw from Fred Weinberg - I haven't seen to many CWT errors and thought this one was pretty neat....




This is just a very pretty and somewhat scarce Conder token I bought in Boston from Jerry/Yellowkid (I was surprised he parted with it since it's so pretty and hard to find this nice). Todd really captured its eye appeal....

This has some serious coolness factors going for it!!!!

Thanks Stef, I really like that one too! It's one of my favorite errors. I had one 5-6 years ago, and was always sorry I parted with it, so I was so pleased to find another one with the same toning as the one I sold back then.

That 1860 is a beast for MS64!

I like the saddle cent, even if it was a created error - the coolness factor is how did it get out of the mint?

Holy smokes, those are nice..

I can't help but think Salvador Dali when I see that 64 lincoln reverse.

Amazing coins to look at.

Thank you for sharing.

I'd love to know the story behind the 1964 cent...

Yep! I do have fun finding and collecting these unique little guys! And you all here make it even more fun by not minding my sharing them here.

The story on the 1864 as I heard it was that a mint worker created these in 1964-65, smuggled them out of the mint, but eventually got arrested and spent some time in jail for theft. That's as much as I heard, not sure how much of it is true, but these pieces sure are interesting and fascinating!
