  Looks very original. Is the scratch on the cheek or the plastic?

  The scratch looks much worse in the image than in the real world. It is on the coin. The coin looks much better in hand as many coins do

  Nice coin . . . . .

  The Doilies continue to come out. When we started the quest and the Census . . . 120 were known (I had about 83 of them). Now, with education, timing of the Doily Generation bringing out their safety-deposit boxes, and some nice PR from PCGS, Lakes, and a few peripheral people . . . the holder is getting its due. The Census continues to impress, the holders continue to emerge, and a picture of what was being submitted, and why, gives us an insight into that period in slabbing history.

  Perhaps someday . . . a short treatise on how it started. It would bore most, but some might enjoy. I have just a couple of regrets . . . . I should have grabbed the Mormon piece the day after it was sold to Rust Coin and shown to me . . . I probably should not have kept bidding up those generic 1884-O's and 1941 Merc Dimes, but I just had these thoughts of cornering the market (hahahahahaha) . . . and I wish AstroRat would have sold me all four off the Jeffs so I could hold that over Lakes (he has deeper pockets and good connections, so it has been hard to compete -- but my short game in golf will rule once we get on a course that isn't his home track).

  Great sidelight to numismatics . . . great people involved in the chase . . . .and great fun.

  It is cool because of the holder. As far as the coin, it is more like a 63 by today's standards.

  Nice pickup - will post it in the Doily thread so theFinn can add it to the census.

  Drunner:

  Thanks for the perspective and reminiscence ..... the Doily chase has been fun, hasn't it.

  We do need to go golfing before too much longer.......not sure how many more years the back will allow it! As for the short game, well..... mine is in the fritz so I'm sure your's is much better.

  That Mormon piece belongs in Utah - make me an offer.
