For those who collect the classic commem series, the Hudson is seen a lot less often in the upper grade levels than the more common issues. Here is my newest example.

    Looks like a beautiful coin. I don't collect commeratives but I can see why someone would.

    Blast white, but it doesn't appear to have ever been dipped. A rare sight indeed.

    Wow what a super pickup. Really nice coin. Classic Commems one of my favorite areas.

    Nice one, @jfriedm56. Even many of us who collect commems don't realize how sneaky tough Hudson's are to find in high quality. You did well.

    Darn. I was looking forward to seeing the acquiring of a Hudson automobile.The first car I remember is my dad's 1947 Hudson. What a tank for a car!

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.
