Nells250 Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 6:41 pm I was attempting to clean up some piles of "stuff" around this room and found a present from my mother that got put in the wrong place. I always tell people NOT to buy me anything related to my hobbies because they usually have no idea what I want/need, or where to get any of it. BUT, Ma ordered me a Bradford Mint Promontory Point anniversary coin for my railroad collection. I looked for it on their website, and it was supposed to be part of a set that appears to have never been produced after the initial coin. It is also supposed to be silver. Now, I don't know if it is SOLID silver or not (I hope so, seeing as she left the invoice in the envelope so I know what it cost). Anyhoo, I thought I'd post it for any interested folks here to see. The photos make it look BLACK but it isn't. It is made like a proof coin, with a mirror background. Report this Post to the Staff

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3641 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 7:49 pm It is an interesting piece. As I've collected coins since I was a kid in the '60's, I've got a box of items like this I received over the years as gifts. While most were items I'd never purchase myself, I always truly appreciated the thought they put into it. And they're all duly noted in my numismatic inventory... Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.
