Continuing my efforts to upgrade the SLQ semi-key dates, I'm quite pleased with this one. But I'm having difficulty finding 1919-D and 1927-S in appropriate grades ("appropriate" for my budget, of course).
I’m a huge fan of the Classic Head gold series! This coin has definite PL surfaces; the Block 8 variety was somewhat elusive for me to find nice & is now paired with the Script 8 variety I acquired sometime ago.

I got what I believe was an acceptable price on these 4 Philly rolls. I have the Denver Nickel & Quarter rolls in the mail & hope to get the Dime roll at a coin show next Friday. I know people think I'm crazy/stupid for buying these rolls and they may have a point too. However, the two voices in my head agree with my purchase.

Just arrived. John and MaryAnn will remember this beauty from a past @CoinRaritiesOnline offering. She is now in my collection and brought my 12 coin gold set to a finish. Very happy with this one.

Thanks @GuzziSport Still pinching myself 4 hours later. This one is pretty cool. I know it is not for everyone but so much history in this one.
I bought this one along with the Gold Dollar. I do not know the history of this coin. I will have to do some research.
This is DM #50 in my CBH collection. There are only 5 CBH's in Doily's with stickers. This is the only 1836. I could not be more thrilled to have obtained this one. A special coin in my collection.

I paid just over melt (at the time) to save this VAM 62 Long Nock from being melted. Yes it's a damaged POS, but VAM 62s are extremely scarce.
