    Sent it off to PCGS for restoration services yesterday. 1888 Proof $2.50, older PCGS holder as MS65, still solid for the grade, slight chance of upgrade or cameo at current grade. Estimated 50 known, under 100 mintage.

    BTW, has anyone ever matched the punches on the Strawberry cent to those used on other 1793's? I'd sure like to get my hands on those four coins! >:)

    While the Jefferson Head cent is not considered a Mint Issue, I believe this is thought to be.

    I would like a Classic Large Cent in MS 63 or MS 64. It will never happen, because after an Unc. pre 1815 copper I had started turning in the holder 8 years after I bought it, I will not buy another pre 1815 copper unless it's in an OGH or first generation holder.

    Why not a top pop 1894-S dime? :D

    I'll just take this one, if that's OK.

    I’d settle for this one...

    I always thought that the CSA President Jefferson Davis specimen of the Confederate half dollar which was stolen from him by a Union soldier when he was arrested at the end of the Civil War would be a neat and very historic coin to own.

    RE "The Coin". Not sure if this has been answered, but it's the ex-Naftzger chain cent, I believe graded SP67.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    Naftzger had many amazing chain cents, but "The Coin!" and SP-67 does narrow it down!
    It's an S-4 "AMERICA, Periods", previously owned by Mickley and Crosby among others.
    I was unable to find a nice color photo of it online, but it is easy to remember that there is a rather dazzling black and white photo of it in Breen's Encyclopedia.

    I wish I could find a w quarter. Alabama seems to be at a loss for quarter collectors. I've gone through a dozen boxes and I've only found a hand full of 2019 quarters, no west points.

    I’m with you on finding a W. I got 2 nice coins as change today 2019 but no W.

    Best place to buy !
