Good morning my friends. Sipping the coffee and reading the threads,
So good to see a budding new Numismatist @DCW She does seem excited with the glass in hand!
Yesterday was a banner haul at the post office for three new CBH's, and the fact I had the afternoon off allowed me to get some images done late yesterday.
Maybe it's a "C" thing (like Coffee!), or maybe because I'm a little Crazy ... but I really love Cracks, Clashes, Chips and Cuds.
The prize in those packages ... this 1832 O-101a
I've been wanting this Die Marriage and Die State since I started getting serious with Bust Halves a few years ago ... just never could find one I really liked. Grateful this one found it's way to me.

“We are only their care-takers,” he posed, “if we take good care of them, then centuries from now they may still be here … ”
I had to go see if it had a TV ... love the misplaced digits and lettering!
Thank you! The TV turned out fantastic - great job by PCGS. Considerable die rotation too as you can see in my slab shot. I bought this raw from Cole Hendrickson early this year - it's an upgrade from a NGC AU55 F-165BJ-24a.
"Stanton shop, Cincinnati. Haas is the German word for rabbit, the motif shown on certain tokens. Carl or Karl in German is equivalent to Charles in English. Listed as Charles Haas during the Civil War at the address on the token. In 1862 he also had a bakery at 320 West 5th Street. The typical coffee house of the era was a higher-level establishment than a saloon and often served as a meeting spot for clubs, groups, and businessmen. Coffee and food were served along with alcoholic beverages (unless if was a temperance establishment). The Haas token series extensive and tokens with the rabbit motif are especially popular."
There are numerous Cincinnati CWT issues - Fuld has 65 pages of Cincinnati issues and has this to say:
"The store cards attributed to Ohio are the most numerous among the state series. Over 100 towns and cities yielded over 3,100 different die and metal combinations. Particularly extensive is the series relating to Cincinnati, this being the home of two especially important makers of tokens, the shops of W.K. Lanphear and John Stanton, both of whom obligingly made special strikings for numismatics. In addition, several other die sinkers and/or token makers produced varities of such pieces, some working with the aforementioned Lanphear and Stanton facilities."

Morning folks, having a cup of coffee on the porch and at least thinking about coins.
Spent part of last night looking through rolls of coins with my youngest daughter, and I was taken back by her enthusiasm for it all.
We hadn't searched through coins in a long time, so I went to the bank yesterday and grabbed a box of cents. To see the excitement in her eyes to discover a 1938 wheat penny with all the modern cents really invigorated me. While we didn't find anything of real value, it was valuable time spent. Who knows? Maybe she becomes a collector like me, and it's something we can share together throughout life. All I know is she didn't want to go to bed last night, knowing the next roll would bring another great find.
I've got to get her into Civil War tokens now.
Have a great weekend, all. Stay positive and stay caffeinated!
Ironically, my grand daughter and I spent a few hours yesterday afternoon going through rolls that I put away in the mid 60's as a kid. We found 11 of her 15 Lincoln cents that she needed for her folder. You gotta just love these memories. She was also wearing her IHC necklace that I had put together for her last birthday.

As an update to yesterday's post, my daughter eventually dumped her piggy bank to get access to more coins and pulled a 2020 W Quarter! I've never been able to find one after 3 years of looking, and this kid does it all by herself in ONE night.
I put it in a 2X2 for her and wrote the date on the back, so she will remember finding it. She couldn't stop smiling!
She's hooked.

"Coin collecting for outcasts..."
Tomorrow morning I will be spending time with a big, heavy box of coins that represent 60 to 70 years of collecting by a friend's 90+ year old father in law.
The "treasure hunt" aspect of looking through this box of coins has me wishing it was Saturday morning already.
Little coffee and flipping thru the lastest issue of Coin World. Nice to see the modern prices restored. Last month apparently caused some uproar. They underestimated the collectors who have moderns as one of their focuses and don’t mind seeing stable prices which they seemed to think was repetitive. Alas, it’s nice to see my SP 70 2018 reverse proof nickels holding at $85. ( back in 2021 they were $150).
About to go to work until 1am. Working CMA fest. 100,000 people walking around downtown Nashville. But before I go, some Joe and looking through my next submission to PCGS.
Cup o Joe and checking out ole King Charles. $31 was a dollar more than I wanted to pay but he here is. Not a very flattering depiction. Jowls a hanging. Oh my 😁😂😁
Here's a military token from Illinois for the Post Bakery. And we all know bakery products go hand in hand with coffee: Rock Island Arsenal Post Bakery, One Ration
This is one of my favorites in my collection of Army Post Exchange tokens. It's half dollar size, brass, and has a really cool depiction of a flaming bomb (ordnance) I love these tokens for the connection I have with the service.

Make sure to let us know how it works out, Kevin. Sounds like it could be very interesting.
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
Finished my weekend homework, the task for today is to take notes on the differences between the 1st and 2nd editions of Bust Half Fever by Edgar Souders.
Coin photo added for kicks.

Greetings folks
Tis Saturday morning and I’m enjoying it with a delicious cup o Joe and here’s my new acquisition. Any one recall the cost of grading for the special 35th anniversary pcgs label. Got the whole ball of wax for $61. Release price for the ase was $67. Believe I did good. It’s a 70 too boot 🥾.
Good morning! Having my first cup of coffee before I get my day going.
Gonna be a rainy morning so I thought I would do some slab cracking for my 7070 album.

Lovely @Project Numismatics

@Project Numismatics , is that Vine street in Cincinnati?
Yes - From Fuld:

My daughters wedding, quiet before the storm. I carry a worn Fugio Cent in my wallet. It came for the ride! Hard to get it in focus.

3 crusty bucks, and a cup of coffee.
Spending some time this morning cataloging 8 (!) new 1880 VAMs sent by someone who is studying this date very closely.
Keeper of the VAM Catalog • Professional Coin Imaging • Prime Number Set • World Coins in Early America • British Trade Dollars
Latest pickup + breakfast:
Sweet dollars!

Well I looked through the box of coins.
Some interesting US coins going back to 1833, with likely none being valued at more than $75.00.
Plenty of non US coins going back to about 1815, from across the globe.
It was fun to snoop.
Half Dimes?
No half dimes.
There is an 1833 capped bust half.

Nice 108. I always liked the reverse on this one. One wonders how it held together long enough to press as many coins as it did.

Having my morning Java, then leaving for the last day of a local coin show!
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Can you smell it? Even before the first sip I love the aroma of coffee in the morning.
Recently got back 15 coins from two different submission (one Economy, one Regular)
Not my normal fare these days, but I collected the 20th Century Classics for years, many times raw, and these fit the groups I have left of those well

Love me some Walkers, and Coffee too! @crazyhounddog Always love your coins man...They are truly stunning.
Had my coffee this morning in the local diner with all the other old farts, so no pics. Here are pics of my June coin haul though.
I gotta slow down for a while. Dealers, give me a break, please quit posting these things for sale until at least the ANA show.
Answer is about $25-30. Plus shipping. Thanks buddy
