Oops, how did this get here? sorry folks susposed to be a reply somewhere else!

Thanks all...hey, it worked

How do you post a reply without adding the quote? Thanks for any help.

In September 2001 while the rest of the world was agonizing over the events in the United States, my wife and I were securely in Ukraine.  We came to get our family, our two children whom were born in Ukraine and became a part of our family.  Fast forward nearly 4 years later and we feel it is time to return to Ukraine, so we start our paperwork to return to adopt at least one more.

 

But providence has a funny way of changing our plans, we barely start our process then we are contacted by an agency that is bringing Ukrainian children to America this summer.  They need host families urgently, so somehow they find out that we are looking to adopt -  and we have to pick up two Ukrainian children here at the airport in the USA on Thursday 23 June

 

All this is getting pretty costly, so just like last time back in 2001 I am parting with extranneous parts of my coin collection.  These dimes are going to be the first of many items I will be selling off over the next few months to fund all of our expenses.

 

 

These dimes are all 1944's and there are three D mints and 7 Philly mints here.  Postage on this lot is $1.60 to your USA location and additional at cost to your foreign location.

 

Some of you may not have figured out who I am, but my old userid on the old Coinpeople was Krasnaya_Vityaz, so if that feedback is still available you can appreciate that I am not some fly by night here

 

Thanks to Art for letting me know I had no starting price, but this starts at face value, but do remember what this is about.  Auction ends next Monday 27 June at 19:00 EST in the USA or 7PM.

Wonderful cause. I'll go $10

Beautiful, nice additions Tiff

A handy link here ^_^

The Katanga cross is a scarce and unusual piece of primitive money It is large cast copper cross, about 7 inches across, that was used in parts of what is now Zaire up to the early 20th century. One would buy about 22 pounds of flour or five or six chickens. Two would buy a gun.

Interesting link... thank you.

Received the three Geo. Washington Commemorative halfs from SMS. Wonderful coins, great price.

Interesting, is/was it actually currency from somewhere? How old is it?

OK, took me to the week-end and late at night to finally get some pictures taken. Gonna see if I can add multiple attachments, if not, I'll have several posts. LOL

 

First two pics are of the 1950-S RPM#1 (which is the same as yours). The 3rd & 4th pics are of a 1950-D / S. And finally the last pic is some of the many many many errors/varieties I purchased last week-end. Hope some of you guys find these images helpful and educational. I do want to state though that I do have these copyrighted (mainly because I plan on doing a book or two hopefully).

Use these for your own personal use, but don't publish these pics in any form. K? Thanks.

 

Thank you. great shots. Your RPM#1 is much cleaner than mine. Good luck with the book, and sorting all those coins. Please post more close ups of other errors if you can without compromising the book.

That's the best kind of deal Ray.

Yeah, she was pretty proud of it . It is very nice

Very nice Art. Did you see the 1936 Wis. Commemorative on that site. Beautiful, but $63.5K...gulp!

Nothing in the mail, but my wife (the yard sale queen) picked up a brand new "Baker County Bucks" two dollar coin. This thing is really nice. It is ~1.25" dia. with "redeemable throughout 1993 at participating merchants, Baker City, Oregon". The reverse is of a pioneer, trees, and a covered wagon. Very pretty, and she found it in the free box at a yard sale.

Sir, I would love to have one if you can get them.

Thanks!

I am just starting to collect ship coins. The two you posted are both very nice. I like the Kontiki coin, as I have read the book a couple of times, the Chinese coin is very nice on both sides.

I have absolutley no knowledge, but that is a neat presentation!

Very nice daggit. Is it about the same size of a US dollar? Did you order this from the RCM?

Ok, got the green light from my buddy.    So here it goes.  I don't have all the nifty variety numbers or anything though.  I'll just do a couple before I head to work.
