~ Meet My 140 Year Old Cover Gal Miss December 2011 ~

Well I'm really blown away as I had no idea that messydesk had a calender in the works. image

And although having one of my Patterns chosen for a month as Miss December is an honor, I'm beyond words now knowing she's also made it as the cover coin! image

image

As per messydesk's BST: It's that time of year! I'm taking orders for 2011 coin calendars. $15 a piece delivered within the US, PayPal OK.

These are spiral bound wall calendars with the pictures printed on glossy card stock. 12 stunning pictures, each 8x10. These are the 12 images I will be using this year.

image

Hopefully messydesk will post the cover pic image

    that's real nice, BS.

    now tell me why she's got that fancy handle on her head like some customized, curling stone?

    The cover is actually a tight crop of the obverse like the background of the December picture in the lower right of the composite, but not darkened. I had a hard time choosing between the 25c and the 50c for this year. I'll probably use the quarter in next year's calendar as the coloring on the obverse is sublime. Last year's cover girl was a closeup of Coinosaurus' Baker-326 Mint Cabinet Medal, which I think was Miss June 2010.

    but about this "spamming" for messydesk... I think you should take some quiet time and think about what you have done... image
    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image

    I had no idea that messydesk does this calender yearly as his PM came as a total surprise.

    I haven't even done much business with him as I was one of the first of ten when he was offering free imaging of coins for members and I sent him two patterns and paid him for the second one he shot.

    I feel this is spam lite as if your digging these images you should be aware that for a nominal fee shipped, you can have a photo of my collection along with members saintguru and windycity hanging in your home for a whole year! image

    Very, very nice! The strike and color really sets this coin off, just beautiful....

    A little info on the 50c Silver Standard Judd-963, Pollock-1059 as I researched it prior to purchase.

    It is Rarity-7 and Harry Bass Jr., The Smithsonian, and The ANA museum did not have an example.

    When the Lemus collection was sold it was also missing a J-963.

    It's also not present in the run of Denali Silver Standards and I did not see one in Simpson's patterns either.

    Pop wise NGC has 1 and PCGS 7 but I'm not sure how many are through resubmissions.

    I've only ever seen 1 other PCGS example and it was not eye appealing.

    Mine is in a PCGS 63 Rattler and I've shown it to a few fellow pattern collectors/dealers who felt it would jump 2-3 points if regraded today.

    I've just never wanted to loose the first generation holder.
