Mr Lee

Here's an 1881-S I picked off EBay awhile back. Paid a little over $20 if I remember correctly.

Post them where ever the people are. that's what I'd say!

I second that. Post 'em here. I know I'd like to see them and here is I always go first.

BTW. Congrats on the completion. I've been trying for way too many years.

I've known people who have received coins from the 1800's in circulation but the oldest I've ever found was a 1913-S Lincoln cent.

A couple years back, while at a gas station, the attendant showed me a Morgan Silver Dollar someone had just used to purchase gas. He didn't know what it was but he wouldn't part with it either.

I inherited about $35 in Wheat-back cents, mostly from the 50's so I rolled them up and cashed in $25 at the local 7-11. Figured in might get someone interested in collecting or further a existing collection along. I still spend the common Wheat-backs.

An unc roll of these:

Received this today:

A Franklin Mint Half Dollar 1967 off Ebay from the now defunct Hacienda Casino in Vegas. I've seen $1, $5 and higher but never a 50¢ piece. Paid less then $6.

I'd like to suggest that you go to the website for the Coin Dealer Newsletter and purchase the latest single copy. It's considered an authoritative source of pricing by most insurance companies. Then, you can price your losses and attach a copy. I just think this will get a lot more attention down to the local police department than a letter from someone they never heard of.

 

Just a thought.

 

Good luck.

It's a great thought and the perfect answer.

Does anybody have any of the GSA CC Dollars?

I have five. 1880 to 1884

went back and paid the $75.

Even four years ago, that was a sweet deal. Congrats!

Hey Tane, I saw that medal and couldn't kick-back till it got ID'd.

I found it on a closed auction:

 

RUSSIAN EMPIRE. Commemorative Medal 1905.

NICHOLAS II (1894 - 1917) Original Imperial Russia Jetton "R.Peto / Exhibition of International Philanthropic Union - Cookery, Nutrition and Hygiene. PERUIN. Paris 1905" in brass. The averse is with the text in Russian R.Peto and two ancient sculptures, exhibition's symbols. The reverse is with date 1905, PARIS and description of the action in French, PERUIN in Russian below. Diameter 22 mm.

 

Hope that helps, now I can go have a brew!

You're good......You're real good.

It's a great feeling finding a coin (or anything for that matter) that you had lost. I too lost a few coins/banknotes and figured they were gone for good. Found them a year later.

Just received a roll of BU 1999-D SBA's. I won them in a contest on the CU Open Forum a week ago.

Had 4 Morgans lifted from me by a cousin. I remember one was an 1896 but I don't recall the others. Been gone over 30 years now.

I love a good Show Report and that was excellent. Sounds like you scored big time.

Congrats!
