Best Valentines Day Ever!

Today started off like any other day but ending up being what I consider to be my best day in regards to collecting. The fun began when I returned home from class this afternoon and my wife informed me that I have a project waiting for me on the work bench. At first I was thinking to myself, "Gee whiz thanks for giving me something for Valentines Day." So I went down stairs and realized that the "project" was actually my Valentines day gift. She purchased me a 1000 series National Cash Register!!!

I have restored two 300 series NCR's and have felt I was ready for something more difficult for a little while now! So of course I had to tinker with it a little bit and was in for a nice surprise when I got the drawer unfrozen!!!

Yeap a Mercury Dime! But not just any Mercury dime it was a 1921 P in AG to G condition!!


So If that wasn't a good enough day my mom stops by shortly later and hands me a card with this inside

So now I am thinking that it was a very good day!!! No sooner than my mom leaves there a ringing on the doorbell..... It was the mail lady with a package that needed to be signed for..... I figured it was a coin so I asked who it was from. My wife says " Mark Feld???" My jaw drops!!! I couldn't believe all the excitement in one day!!!! Here is what was inside the package from Mark.

Just like every other series some years are known for very sharp, hammered strikes and others like the 1945-P are rarely seen hammered, thus the huge price tag on the 1945-P FSB.
