My first pickup of the year, just wanted to share.

One of the first coin purchases this year and probably the last for this year and wanted to share.

Had a deal to buy back another modern coin but that fell through, so this is it for me this year......taking a break

I will be picking up pieces time to time and perhaps selling but that's all

I hope you enjoy this one, I waited for a very long time for a strong strike and gem qualities, its almost prooflike.

I plan on having it imaged soon, so I will post better images then.

Ex. Dr. Allen Bennett specimen........(scarce)

That's because he is carrying taxes and rents

Around the edge: I WAS AN ASS TO BEAR THE FIRST PAIR, the sacks represent taxes and rents
Obverse reads: IF RENTS I ONCE CONTENT TO PAY MY LIBERTY IS PAST AWAY

Very nice example Stef! That is one of my favorite Condor designs. Resembles the Indian on the Massachusetts Cents and Half Cents of 1787-88. I love it!

<< PS - CONTENT or CONSENT?? >>

Well..........check it out Here regarding Spence's Tokens and as I read it on the token
it also appears to be CONTENT....but I could be wrong

.........scroll down to about the middle of the page. You will see this.
