Nice coin Steve. You should definitely buy that beauty, looks like MS 62-64, beautiful detail. 5) German States Mecklenburg-Schwerin 1843 3 Pfenning   This coin is really interesting it is silver (even though it doesn't look it) the copper one is 3 in number, the silver is 3 like III. Anyway, it's really small, about 4mm and it weighs 0.45g and it's melt value is 6 cents. Really cool coin, didn't know it was silver until I read about the different 3's. |

This is the last of the trio of the Seated Liberty halves I bought as a kid. This one thrilled me b/c of the CC mint mark. Sorry for the fuzzy REV pic.   For a kid, these three made up a very important part of the collection. |

4} My sentimental favorite. Got it at the bank when you could still get the old paper rolls of 20 silver dollars. She worked hard for 80 years before entering my retirement home.  Love the circulation cameo.

Oh my, that's a very pretty and "lucky" coin (it sure sounds like the ol' girl found a nice retirement villa)  |

Nice 1/2 eagle Fuzzy. Jeff your Double eagle also is appealing. I seem to be stuck on half dollars and here is a nice motto example with great detail snagged of ebay for less than $60. 1875 seated half   |
