    I’ll take a dozen!

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    Waiting on the auction description-

    Should be an entertaining read-

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Double die or machine doubling on the date?

    At least it's properly punctuated.

    Pattern piece...
    Abe Curry founded Carson City and yet he was not yet born in 1791 (b.1815)
    But his parents had great plans for the coming baby, and set out to make some
    pattern pieces in their basement in Canton (they were there for studies and thus the CC).
    There are actually quite a few they made floating around the Canton China area today. Every now and again some collector, while on vacation, finds a dandy and throws it up on ebay.
    It is so fortunate for them and I've thought, often, of taking a vacation there myself. Love to check out the local coin shops and tour the parents now immoralized home/museum.

    It’s a fantasy coin, not a replica. Over struck on authentic fake trade dollars
