I have maintained a corresponding relationship, particularly at Christmas time, with the widow of good friend and mentor Russ Logan, co-author of the books on the early Federal dimes and half dimes, since his tragic and untimely death in 2002. Just two days ago, I received a nice Christmas card from her, bringing me up to date on what is happening with her and her family. Enclosed with the card was a Capped Bust half dime that she found while going through Russ' desk which she wanted me to have. It is an AU example of the 1829 LM-6.2/V5, an R5 marriage. Much to my surprise, it is the plate coin from "The Federal Half Dimes 1792 - 1837" for that marriage, shown on page 148, easily identifiable by some light grafitti on the obverse above Miss Liberty's cap. I presently own an AU-58 example of this die marriage, which is somewhat nicer than this specimen, but this coin will hold a special place in my collection for the memories, the friendship, and for the knowledge that Russ so unselfishly imparted. I was very touched by the gesture, and most appreciative for the privilege of having known such incredibly fine people. Thank you, Brenda.

For the last several months I have been concentrating on Peace Dollars. My mother wanted to add to my coin collection but knew better than to try and buy them herself. She gave me a budget, I selected the set, she paid for them. Super gift!!!

Fabulous, your wife has good taste; perhaps, she should compare notes with mine...on second thought...
But, I did pick up this LM-11 which is an R.5
42/92
<< <i>No coins, but I did get the book: History Of The United States Mint And Its Coinage written by David W. Lange. So far, I just glanced at the illustrations and images, but I really like it. A lot of awesome things in that book. I'll probably start to read it later tonight. >>
Me too! Also go the newest edition of the ANA Grading Standards book. Both from my wife. I picked them out weeks ago.
1. Grade results from PCGS at the end of the day Dec. 23 on five raw Morgan VAMs... two were right what I expected and three were higher!
2. That same night one of the good guy dealers on these boards PM'd me that the 1570 Scotland Ryal "Sword Dollar" he had on consignment from a friend in England finally graded at PCGS (VF35) and was ready for me.
3. A Priority Mail package arrived Dec. 24 with my winning lot in the Heritage Baltimore auction: an 1895-S Morgan ANACS AU53 that looks correct to me!
DITTO!

But I did get Q. David Bowers new book, "The Expert's Guide to Collecting and Investing in Rare Coins". It promises that I can invest hundreds and make thousands! I haven't got to that part yet, still in the introductory stuff. It's very chatty.

I was high bidder on a PCGS MS66 '41S walker at DLRC when I left Saturday morning and NOT when I got home today. Congrats to the new owner. Not me at that price.
<< <i> No coins. I have almost all the B/L Hastings triplets. Now I have... Zeiss >>
No way. That makes you a coin snob, and there is no way the other coin snobs will let you into their club. And to top it off, there is no way you could have gotten that for Christmas. People like you are always on Santa's naughty list.
<< <i>and there is no way the other coin snobs will let you into their club >>
I like the loupe. Never wanted to have any part of the "snob" group. I believe you are in this group?

No, they wouldn't let me in the group either.
edited to add:I've owned one for a year and it it exceptional. Congrats!

Well, actually you are correct. I received it for the "Holidays."
Sleep well tonight for the 82nd Airborne Division is on point for the nation.
