Oh I wish those were the plates used to print the real black eagles!

I like that reverse a lot too! And where I work, they had a banquet this past weekend for 750 folks who have worked there for 35 years or more. You read that right. We just had a retirement party for a many who worked there for 45 years and I've met folks who've worked there almost twice the time I've been alive.

Lookin' good, Alan! Well done! I hope you're rewarded with a solid, healthy community.

I'm assuming post-mint damage or corrosion.

That is a fantastic note! might be my favorite blue note.

Wahoo! Which one?

HELP, V!

There's a coin I do not have (I don't think)! Love it! What a series.

Which designs are the ones that are rarer?

Thank you, gentlemen! You guys keep posting great coins, notes, and medals to give me distractions to look forward to when I get home after a long day of work.

Very frosty. What do you think of that special set of Jefferson designs from the mid 2000s?

Hello all, I just wanted to give you an small update. The last month has been the longest I've had in as long as I can remember. First, my health, wealth, job, family, and friends are all intact and in fine shape. I'm very lucky to have all of those and do my best to show my gratefulness. Unfortunately, not all was peachy last month on a personal front and it won't be peachy for the forseeable near future. Again, I'm very grateful for all I have but I haven't been 100% myself. A few Saturdays ago, I made a trip to my favorite coin place - the Baltimore Coin Convention. It's a three-times-a-year affair but it's the first time I've been since Nov. 2010 since all my weekends had been previously occupied. I owe you guys an update about that trip but not tonight. More importantly, I need to formally acknowledge my job search. I like my current position and city but I am ready to move on for different challenges and to be closer to the people and places I love. So, if you know anyone in Washington, DC, who wants a top notch kiddo in engineering/defense/energy/project management/whatever, please let me know! That's all for tonight. I need to get back to job searching.... TDP

Good point, Art! Never thought about that!

What do you guys think of that?

Yeah, too lazy today to take pics. Looks like I'll have to haul the haul back to Suffolk with me. I'm betting on Wednesday for the post :-/

Great idea. We should reintroduce that motif on our coins. American Accomplishment Series.

Decent size but light weight.S he must be very thin.

Got one to post for later. Need to take pics first.

BIG post coming! Need to take lots of pics first.

Whoda thunk you got one of your bucket coins in a coinstar!

Jeeeee whiz! What a beaut! Your first off-center coin?

Gold gold gold!

GO GO GO!

Very similar situation to you! I'm going to a big regional show in Baltimore this weekend to find some of the key star notes for the silver cert. series. At age 26, my money may be more important to hold on to than yours!
