Coingrats AcesKings those are sweet! Quote:
Joe, those are real stunners! Thanks Paralyse! I think I messed up by not purchasing more than I did. The estate auction I attended was mostly dealers so nothing was getting retail prices. Some mint sets in the regular cellophane were selling for under the silver content melt. I purchased a good bit but I'm kind of kicking myself now. Also got this Morgan at the same auction.

Got a few of these at auction. I assume they are mint sets in Wayte Raymond cardboard holders. Some nice toning on them. Also got this Morgan at the same auction. Very nice!  Quote:

This is a real head-scratcher. The dime at the center is a 1964 Roosevelt (90%) and there is a brass or bronze pin with pin back stuck through one part of the disc. Apart from what it says I know nothing about it. I'd think if you want to check the clarity of the water in a pool there are better ways than a plastic disc, and what is the purpose of the pin, and the dime?  Note: the disc is clear, it was photographed on a blue textured background.

That's interesting. I did find another one of those pins online, except with "69", so this must be "66" over a check mark. The dime may actually be an original part of the test disc. I gather the idea is to lower the disc, face up, into the water on a string and test using the relative visibility of the dime's reflection as it's lowered? Maybe the pin has to do with an annual event for Sears employees?  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Very presentable & delightful Classic Head. Good details and a relatively smooth planchet = a nice coin!
