Looks like a number of proof IHC's and fec's tone purple.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

My history well is a bit dry for something new here but I thought this might be a nice little post from stuff I found on the internet. Some drawings of making ancient coins Hammering and using a press.     and a couple ancient coins that show coins being made on them.   |

That is the first time I have seen coins depicting coin making. Thanks for posting!

 This is very intersting. Where is it from? Now would'nt it be interesting if the coin being made on the coin was supposed to be the coin showing the coin being made? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Been enthralled lately with the toning of Indian Head cents. The best examples seem to come from proof specimens but here's a business strike.

Haven't posted in a while. Do you remember watching the $100,000 nickel episode of Hawaii Five-0 for the first time? They drop the nickel (don't know if it was the real one) into a coin operated newspaper vending machine. The episode began at a coin show...  Apparently this was the nickel they used. Brings up great memories.

I'm sorry to point this out and get things off track but it appears it was a little known fact that either Fozzy from Sesame Street or maybe the Werewolf of London was a coin collector?  PS: I promise to make up for this with a quality post in the near future. |

Lol, nice eye for detail! Maybe a bearded ginger? Also, this still from the episode makes one wonder how you examine a coin by putting the magnifying glass behind the coin...
