Ætheling Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I haven't bought any coins in ages, well over a year. Until a few weeks ago, saved up a fair bit and then I went mad. I've always wanted some nice ones of these! Of all the 'new' designs of that era, this one has always been my favourite. 1917 (Type 1) 1929 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Nice. That's definitely my favorite 20th century US design (the TYpe 1 at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 That 1929 is GOOOOOOORGEOUS. Will you be coming back more often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm back now for a while, at least until october, as i speak i'm trying to ensure an internet connection beyond that... so we'll see. As for the coins well, i always said i was going to get some nice SLQ's one day... I'm already eyeing up some more SLQs. I'm still waiting for a 1924 SLQ which is in the post as we speak, but that's not an FH like the others. The 1929 one is particularly nice i have to admit. The best thing about it was that i found both of these on the UK Ebay, which is very, very unusual. I'm wary of ordering stuff like this from the states because they ain't cheap and the post is only insured effectively until it boards the plane at the US end, once it's in England it's not actually covered and if it goes missing well, that's that. I had that happen before on a roll of Merc dimes that Art sent, they got to the UK in one piece (according to the tracking reports from the US postal service) then they vanished. So every purchase of this magnitude from the states is a risk, and worse still i get charged customs tax on them as well! So to find some already in the UK was a blinder. I'm awaiting the arrival of some Indian head gold as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 And ideas of trying them in a vending machine? Really great coins for that type. So many of those are worn due to the amount of Silver, thier age and the location of the dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
