numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11983 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 3:10 pm Nice post TheNickelGuy 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."

Apparently the dime did not yet have its current legendary, almost mythic status. It has a plug that says "RARE" on it. I believe the current version still has the same plugged hole. I could be wrong. I checked--the current folder does not have a hole for the 1894-S. Edited by jpsned 03/15/2017 10:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

gmwatson Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 03/27/2017 5:06 pm An absolutely great thread for we fellow coin enthusiasts. Just read through the thirteen pages to date and was amazed by the compilation of historical information. The smile I have upon reading through the many stories and documents certainly speaks volumes for why I enjoy this hobby so much. It's not just the physical coins that are so cool, but the history behind them. Kudos to numismatic_student and all others contributing to the further education of we collectors.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11983 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 12:02 am First in series of pictures from my visit to the US Mint. This is a 10" plate proof of George T. Morgan's beloved design.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11983 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 12:17 pm Looks like the 3 Cent Nickel design. Sorry for the washed out picture - it was on a high shelf.

gmwatson Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 6:00 pm Very cool, but mounting looks like something my teenage son would come up with. A couple screws buried into some plexi-glass. Surely the mint could come up with a little better display than that. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11983 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 8:24 pm I agree with you gmwatson - but apparently the mint could not... The origins of the legends of coins.
