Some Of My Collection As A Starter. Tell Me What You Think

Really nice start. Some nice coins.
However, did you notice that all your coins are tilted so that the faces are sideways?
Of course I figured out how to correct that. I just turned my monitor sideways.

Carl, I thought they were all 90 degrees rotated obverses.

Great to see the collection of another Philadelphian! Always made me proud as a child that if a coin had no mintmark, you new we made it right here. I live just off Two Street myself. Never skiied it though; I skiied down Pine once.

Haha philadelphian, my nickname is ski because of my last name. I never skiied either. Maybe we can trade or something since were close by eachother. Just throwing ideas out there.

skitwostreet,
The coin collection I was always in awe of when I was growing up, and the one that really inspired my own, was that of my great-uncle, who died before I was born. My grandmother would tell me about the beautiful coins in her brother's collection, and how he would show them off to anyone who came to visit. I never saw a single one of those coins, though, because while all his family and friends were at his funeral, someone broke into the dead man's house and stole them. Probably someone who scanned the obituary notices in the paper for just that purpose. Maybe both of us have gotten a little too close to advertising our addresses on the Internet here. There are still folks in our neighborhoods who aren't above dropping by uninvited, to help themselves to some old silver.

Yes it is, if minted in Philadelphia. Looks to be xf/au - $250.00 or so dollars, more if in AU but it is hard to
judge from the photograph.

They minted the 28 in San Francisco that year as well. Would need to see the reverse.....

Very nice start


Now you have to decide which sets to work on first.

Find the design you love and collect the heck out of it. I love liberty Seated halves and draped bust halves, soo many varietys of those two coins!
