    Nice Coin! I was going to bid, but I was out on the boat and I missed it! It looks a lot better in your picture too.
    Cool pick up.

    Thanks for the comments. I only have 16 coins including the Lafayette Dollar. These are very tough to find in Fine and below.

    Absolute perfection for the grade and not easy to find. Nice one!! You definitely have the eye for honest, original worn silver image

    Now just wait for the latest ijjit to chime in and say how they could take some AU-UNC and 'ruin' it to look like that HA! No one yet has produced on this forum, and will not... takes decades of slow wear in the right pocket (?sweaty) and then stowed away for years more to take on the beautiful patina that your Maine has acquired. You can wear them down in a few years and get them into plastic, but they don't look like this GEM for the grade. Bravo again!

    That's a "top of the line' pocket piece. I'd like to know where that coin travelled.

    I'm finding the earlier commems, coins pre-1930, to be a easier to find than the ones from the 1930s. Of the sixteen I have, only one, Texas, is from the 30's.

    Great coin ajaan!! I have a similar raw circulated Maine, but mine has a rim ding. It looks like I collect similar coins in that I am looking for F15 and under circulated commemoratives. As you and others have stated, they are becoming more and more difficult to find. I also have a Lafayette like you have that I bought off ebay a year ago and sent to anacs for grading. It came back a PO01. I was incredibly happy.

    Great pick-up, I bet that coin could tell some stories. I had one in my set in XF and it was possibly my favorite of all the commem designs with the CircCam™ look.

    Welcome Steve123!

    Nice score on the Lafayette PO-1! Anything under AG3 is rare in that issue.
