Belated birthday present to myself

OKbustchaserOKbustchaser Posts: 5,541 ✭✭✭✭✭

As some know I turned 68 last Monday. Thanks again for all the well wishes I got from you guys, but no one saw fit to send me a new bustie ;) so I picked this up this morning.

Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    She’s certainly a beauty...but that’s not an 1827 ;)

    No, I like a little bit of mileage on my ladies. ;)

    Frank, our hosts said 55, but based on the pics I tend to agree with you. I paid strong for a 55 but not all the way to 58. I'll know more in a few days when it's in my grubby little hands.

    The half I sent you must be lost in the mail 😉

    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.

    She showed up in the mail today. In hand I see why PCGS called it 55 instead of 58 as a few thought, but it still looks nice to me.


    and with a light on it...
