in the area, all I can find that interested me was this one ounce.999 silver art bar of Kennedy.

I went to one shop in which I have never gone before, its in Rancho Mirage. I forget the name of the shop
but I wouldn't recommend this guy to my worst enemy. Everything that I was interested in his shop
he told me that it was "not for sale".......All he really wanted to see was proof sets from
50's on up and ASE's.

Anyways went to my regular guy and all I found of interest was this art bar.......toned of courseimage
Never seen this one before, but doesn't mean much, I miss alot of thingsimage


So here is my huge purchase of the day. I liked it so much I cropped the Kennedy cameo and placed it
side by side for the full effect.



Goes to show you collecting does not have to cost an arm and a leg to make you happy!!



PS..........don't tell Ricko, he will want me to dip itimage

    Hi Stefanie,
    (by the way, same exact name as my granddaughter)
    I like your posts since you do not restrict yourself to one coin type, or even coins. You frequently post items I have never seen before. That being said... some dilute baking soda, aluminum foil and water in a glass dish, then place the bar on the foil. The nasty tarnish will vanish before your eyes. So glad I could help image Cheers, RickO

    Hi there,

    Love it and the toning, especially. You already know not to dip that lovely blue green away. Now, just figure out how to magically float that color onto aPr Walking Libery! image

    Best,
    Eric

    Stef, I'd take that kind of tarnished silver any day, all day, especially over common shiny silver!
