I about fell over in my chair when he handed me this as a "keeper"! He said that he could not put a price on our friendship, and introducing him to the hobby, so he gae me his " Two Cents worth", along other numismatic treasures, 1931-S Lincoln, and an 1899 Black Eagle silver certificate. What a great friend! Success, Image Insert: Image Insert: Report this Post to the Staff

ron6788 Pillar of the Community United States 655 Posts	Posted 03/12/2009 6:45 pm I just love American coin designs and this one especially. Overdates are fun and this one is just silly fun. I acquired the coin in an internet auction by overpaying quite a lot. Well, I'm happy and I'm sure the guy that sold it to me is happy, too. chris12018, that's a real nice looking Morgan. 1888 is a lucky date! Ron Report this Post to the Staff

daviscfad Pillar of the Community United States 4541 Posts	Posted 03/12/2009 7:18 pm you guys have some great looking coins Report this Post to the Staff
chris12018 Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 03/12/2009 7:59 pm Thank You Ron6788. How do you mean 1888 is lucky? Yours is a beauty also. I have an overdate of the same coinage. I'll post it Friday. In the meantime I'll post my very first gold piece 1912 Indian Head Quarter Eagle. I picked this up at auction for a couple hundred. I thought it was worth getting it graded. So, I sent it to NGC and was I thrilled when it came back AU55. Edited by chris12018 03/12/2009 8:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ron6788 Pillar of the Community United States 655 Posts	Posted 03/13/2009 04:07 am chris12018, 8 is a lucky symbol in the Asian world. The Mint was offering a gold coin presentation set on 8-08-08 for this reason. But better than this it's my lucky number because it's won me the most playing roulette in AC! Here's a quote from Wikipedia: "Eight...is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word 'prosper' or 'wealth'... China took advantage of this by beginning the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Beijing at 8 seconds and 8 minutes past 8 pm (local time) on August 8, 2008." Report this Post to the Staff
