Continuing List To Show Everyones Latest Acquisitions

From the melt tub.
Date on the quarter balboa is 1934. Hard year to find!
And what's not to love about a silver coin named for an exotic bird?

No, not too many. But there are some,

I think that must be a set for like ``Historical Battles`` or something like that. A lot of British countries and islands make a LOT of commemoratives. I myself have the complete set of ``the Great Monarchs set I`` to celebrate the great kings and queens of England, the set is from the British Virgin Islands.

Here are a couple of Mercs and a few Walking Libertys I picked up at the local coin store yesterday. Also a couple of pics of the Trade dollar I bought a few weeks ago. Just waiting on the paperwork from NGC and I will be sending it in....


























Sorry about the pics, Thanks for looking.
