Played hooky from work today, and the wife didn't have to work....so I decided to take her "antiquing" in Lawrence, Kansas (which is about 30 minutes due East). Now normally, I would never set foot in Jayhawk country, unless I have all of my Kansas State Wildcat gear on (enemy territory makes me uncomfortable !).....but I decided to go ahead and go anyway. I told her to find a bunch of antique shops there on the Internet and print off the addresses. Oh, and in case we had time..  .. I told her to print off the address to a coin shop there that I'd never been to..... ......  So we spent quite a few hours hitting those shops....doing a lot of walking.....shopping..... more walking, then I began to suffer from M.S.W.W.F.S. (man shopping with wife fatigue syndrome) My Tiger Blood and Adonis D.N.A. was just plumb beginning to fail ! So, I suggested that it was about "closing time" for all the shops, and that we might stop in and check out that coin shop before we go home. We got there 30 minutes before he closed...... AND IT WAS AN AWESOME SHOP INDEED ! ....  He seemed to have a lot more inventory than my local coin shop ! So.....I didn't have enough money for one of his 1931 S Cents....  But I did pick this nice 1970 S small date up for $49.50 ! ....   And yes ! .... It's a "hole-filler" for me too ! ...     And I picked up this handy little item from Whitman that I thought JustCarl would be ABSOLUTELY THRILLED THAT I BOUGHT ! ...     It's a tiny little "check list" booklet that you can mark what you have, what you're missing, what grade the coin is in or desired.....PRETTY HANDY AND COOL ! Edited by eaglefoot

Thanks Guys ! .....  I can't wait to get back to that shop again ! .... He had a HUGE selection of LWC's there.......and I need some nice quality ones for the Dansco. I'm choosing (so far) to leave the holes empty, vs. putting "sub-par" Lincolns in there (of which I have a LOT of !) All BU when and where I can is the plan for the man ! I have two different Lincoln alblums........the Dansco is the only one that gets the " special" attention.....  |

Does seem as though the only way to get one of those is to shell
out the cash. Nice coin for sure and one that seems to be raising
in value and interest.

Nice pickup!

Very nice! Too bad you could not get that 1931-S as well. Maybe next time, as it sounds like a place you will visit again! |

I like the checklist. I made my own on word
one sheet for each coin
I really like that book though
I would be interested in purchasing that myself

If I may ask, I see the $49.50 on the 2x2; was that the way it was sold, or is that your writing? I'm curious if there is negotiation in these shops, or do you have to pay as marked? I see folks at coin shows asking what they might have an item for, not sure what that shop policy was for you, obviously not a regular shop for you.-

Beautiful coin Eaglefoot: those light scratches/marks under the LIBERTY, is that common with 70s SD? My small date has similiar markings. Not sure if that means something or is caused by something or just a coincidence. thanks
