A Summer game of Coin Tag.

The rules are simple. When you are "it" it is your turn to post a US coin image (obverse only or both sides).

Think of this a long slow process similar to chess by mail. it could take a while but will be worth the effort.

    Hopefully, no one cares if I'm not playing so don't make me "it" as the game will die. >:)

    Topstuf is likely chipping a half disme from the Lucite pen holder. As I noted...this may not move all that fast.

    Look on the right to see who is on line and pick one as the new "IT." I vote for Errors on coins as he posts neat coins.

    You will need to use @specialist for the person to even know that someone has mentioned them, otherwise they'll never know unless they randomly open this thread.

    Cool game but add some notes... put @ before the name. And ONLY pick folks that are online. They can be found on the "home screen."

    This isn't candy crush or yellow bird or free cell. It is a leisurely throwback to when you ordered a coin by mail and waited 4 to 6 weeks for it's arrival.

    Be patient, grasshopper.

    Mr. Carr explanation on the earlier 1934 over-strikes:

    The change of production 'preparation' method slightly different on a few of the earlier '1934'; were bead-blasted, wire brushed and then over-struck and most of the later ones were not.
    Somehow the bead-blasting tended to bring out a slightly coppery color similar to the colors of Kruggerands (which are also 9167 fine gold)
