Christmas gift exchange with my friend Las Vegas Teddy

crazyhounddogcrazyhounddog Posts: 13,776 ✭✭✭✭✭

This year I did a small gift exchange with my good friend right here on this forum, Las Vegas Teddy. Not much money was spent on coin what so ever. Ted pointed me to a proof set on the Bay and I bought that for him. I gave him no ideas as what I would want, I told him to surprise me and boy did he. I've got to show you what the man sent me as the toning is next to none. I suppose neon would be the best word to use. This has got to be one of thee most beautiful Roosevelt dimes I've ever laid my eyes on. Graded by pcgs and extremely beautiful.
Thank you my friend, Joe

    That is exceptional for a clad coin! Not a lot of money was spent on that?? What does it grade?

  • KccoinKccoin Posts: 1,086 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wonderful color on that one. Your friend is very generous

  • BochimanBochiman Posts: 25,285 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Thanks for posting.
    I was, literally, just wondering 2 nights ago how LVT was doing. He's a stand-up guy and I hope he is doing well.

    great looking coin as well!

    Very attractive coin. Clads typcially do not tone like your new dime has.

    Great story - thanks for sharing.

    I've have some stories about LVT, but those will wait for another thread....
