Nice examples all.
My Grandfather served in WWII in the Air Force and Army. The two men who were most dedicated to winning the war are FDR and Winston Churchill IMO.

Just received this one. This was the sellers picture.
This is the coin in hand.
I’ll never understand why sellers don’t take the time to get good shots of expensive coins. Because of the lousy picture I was able to get this one at VF prices. It will be going in for grading with a few others in a week or so.

As much as I dislike Stalin he was probably equally if not more committed to defeating Germany than FDR or Churchill.

I didn’t mean to derail this thread. My apologies and let’s try to stay focused on new purchases and not discuss the history of WW2.

I love the Winston Churchill medal. I think he belongs on a coin of the realm.
By the way Churchill has an interesting Bio if you go back far enough. He was basicly another upper class Englishman who didn't have a pot to piss in. He hobbed and nobbed with the aristocracy, but basically only got wealth through his fame after the war.

I highly recommend his book set from The Gathering Storm to Triumph and Tragedy.

1969-D MS67+ and a QA sticker. I feel this is worth reconsideration.

Yes it was, but no one even made an offer because it looked like they were trying to hide maybe some damage by the bad picture.

I started a pcgs registry type set a few years ago. It’s a slow but fun challenge. I usually buy a couple of big coins a year for that set, then fill holes in albums or try to pick coins I like.
