    Design is as close to a blank planchet as you can get.

    Those are some really nice/interesting coins. As to boring.... I am never bored.... cannot recall ever being bored. Always something to do. Never have understood how people can be bored. Cheers, RickO

    To me, it’s a patient hobby, at times rather slow and even on life support. Interesting designs and unique opportunities come at intervals. I would never recommend taking a buddies random prescription pills as a pastime.

    I laughed so hard at that one I almost choked.
    Thanks😊

    I am soooo busy right night with trimming the harvest, lobstering, and spending time with friends that my coin work is piling up.

    Not boring at all around here.

    Beautiful.

    I'm trying to get a 1911 through CMP. They go fast!

    That's where the garand came from. Can anyone still try to get a 1911, or are the applications closed?

    Last I checked. Closed. But I've seen them open up at random times with no notice (not supposed to). By the time I hear about it, I'm waaaaaay late. They pop up on Gunbroker every once in a while too. Actually, there's one on there now. But I'm really hoping to get program-direct one day.

    I think that is an attractive design.

    Very nice example of that rifle -

    It just feels a little unfinished for me, I think a cityscape along the horizon in the background would have given it more depth.

    When I was a kid, my dad was a national civilian handgun champion. I always went to the nationals with him and worked for the NRA while there. I got 5 dollars a day, three mess hall food tickets and a place to stay, if I needed that. Well anyway, I always worked for Colonel John K. Lee. At the time he was the head of the CMP. He was in charge of putting together a Garand for then Senator John Kennedy who was rumored to be an up-and-comer......Boy those were good days.....

    I wouldn’t say it’s inevitable, but I’ve seen more than one coin collector head in this direction.

    My Dad inherited this H&R .32 S&W pistol over 100 years old from his uncle in the 30's. It was stolen by a family member and was missing for over 50 years and luckily found when the family member died in her personal belongings. Amazing that most of the wear, mostly chrome, occurred in the guns first 30 years as it was hidden in a box in her closet for 50 years and in a safe for the last 20. Pistol was made between 1909 to 1913 and is a Third Variation of Four. Now this should be boring enough for anyone. :s
