    You found my half!

    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.

    Great find!

    Even parking lot finds aren’t as cool as they used to be! ;)

    Wow that is a cool piece. Makes you wonder why they got it engraved.

    My only guess is just for an inexpensive souvenir. Whatever the reason I'm glad they did.

    You are correct and very observant. The "O" is missing in Chicago. I can't imagine why it would have been left out. There is plenty of room for it.
