    Forgot about this one:

    I believe this is the only US coin that shows the Confederate flag on it.

    Along with the flag mentioned above, this coin needs to be melted too ;)

    You want to cancel (melt) US coins? :o
    Are there any others?

    If it was waffle cancelled by the US Mint, it'd be worth quite a bit ;)

    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.

    I picked up a Gettysburg MS62 today and it seems like the market for the classic commems and the Gettysburg in particular is pretty hot. High grades and high $$$ are easier to find, but affordable ($500 - $750 ish) coins are tougher to locate. This is a great series to look at and like a few others here I have chosen to buy the issues I like and let others pass.

    You guys crack me up, HARD😂. Yes let’s cancel the cancel. I like the sound of that👌

    Very beautiful coins in this thread. Actually some are incredible.

    Wow, very nice.

    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
