These are my most recent pick ups... Both are considered common dates In the series but you will have to search for years before finding a nicer AU 72$. The 47$ is a duplicate for my collection but is special for another reason. You will have to wait for my next article in the E-Gobrecht journal to find out why. I had first shot on both coins from my good buddy @Pickwickjr

I couldn’t think of a better circulated collection of lsd to place them in. The 1872 is absolutely incredible and so hard to find with that look.
Looking forward to another great article in the E-Gobrecht. 😎
The consecutive years trifecta of Frank Gasparro's "pair of liberty torches" design on US Mint medals.
From left to right: 1960 President Eisenhower Appreciation Medal, 1961 John F. Kennedy Bronze Inauguration Medal, and 1962 Douglas MacArthur Congressional Gold Medal.
I'll add a little darkside material here in the next few posts. These are all very relevant to United States numismatics.
The United States Mint at Philadelphia struck three different denominations, all of the same design for Bolivia dated 1942 -- 10 and 20 centavos in pure zinc and 50 centavos in bronze.
Shown are one of each metallic composition, a zinc 10 centavos (PCGS MS64, pop 3/0) and the bronze 50 centavos (PCGS MS66RD, pop 16/3).
Many interesting 'pairs' can be shown from the World Coins Struck at United States Mints series. I'll present a few more.
The United States Mint at Philadelphia struck coins for Cuba from 1915-1960.
I like when a year has both the final and first year of two different design of the same combination...think 1921 Morgan and Peace Dollars.
Such was the case for the Cuban 1934 silver Pesos. Represented are a final year Star Peso (1915-1916, 1932-1934), PCGS MS64 (pop 13/0) the the first year of the A.B.C. Peso (1934-1939) also PCGS MS64 (pop 7/1). A.B.C. Pesos did not circulate, rather they backed Cuban silver certificates. Eventually in the early 1950's they were sold as bullion with a small number of each year saved for collectors.
2 different reverse eagles in the CBH series.
First is a reverse eagle on an 1808 (fierce looking eagle with a beautiful narrow shield)
Second is a reverse eagle on an 1824
The Philadelphia mint struck 90% silver coins of four different denominations (all of the same design) for Liberia -- 10c (1960-1961, 25c (1960-1961), 50c (1960-1961) and Dollar (1961-1962).
Shown are a 1960 50c (PCGS MS64, pop 2/0) and a 1962 Dollar (PCGS MS64, pop 1/0).
Four different United States Mints -- Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco and West Point -- struck many different coin denominations for Panama from 1904-1983. Interestingly, the five denominations struck at the Philadelphia and West Point mints were the final circulation strike world issues produced by the United States. It should be noted that in 2000, the Philadelphia mint struck a 1000 Kronur for Iceland in proof format in conjunction with the 2000 Leif Ericson Millennium U.S. Commemorative Silver Dollars.
The large silver Balboas (struck to the same specifications of United States Silver Dollars) dated 1931, 1934 and 1947 are popular with collectors. Shown are a couple of colorful examples, a 1934 struck at San Francisco (PCGS MS65, pop 29/10) and a 1947 struck at Philadelphia (PCGS MS64, pop 65/60). Per the population report, these coins are available and a nice option for a collector that wants a World silver crown struck at a United States Mint.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Sac dollars can tone SO beautifully! The first one above is one of the best I've seen, tho #2 ain't bad either.

A grease strike through on the reverse almost obliterated the word five at the bottom.
1848 CAL. $2.50
1848 Plain $2.50
The funny part is, the "Plain" is rarer.
Pair of Ike Dollars
I would want the CAL. over the plane one. Interest sting that's it not more rare than the plain.
