Maybe I should have said, " I had no clue as to how to interpret your clues". "I don't own one and didn't remember that it lacked all three mottos." Honestly, I have never looked at any coin to see what mottoes are there. I would have to pull out my Oregon (don't read that out loud if you are with company, you may be misunderstood) or my Stone Mountain ( oh what the heck, go ahead and read it out loud) just to see what mottoes are on those coins or lacking. I may never look at an Oregon or Stone Mountain the same again. I may give up collecting commems altogether now. Someone already ruined the Delaware for me by making some reference to a baby with some intestinal problems... Hahaha! I went to eBay to get a good look at a Delaware to see what the heck you were talking about. A couple of years ago, a fellow collector in the local coin club wanted to sell me a Delaware and I held it for awhile, studied it, mulled it over and didn't make a deal, mainly on account of one unsightly mark on the coin. Viewing that coin, though, caused me to put Delaware rather far down on my list of commems to buy, because I just wasn't impressed with the design. But I didn't recall seeing a baby or intestines. One look at the auction image, courtesy of one of our "favorite" sellers; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=39662868 17 and I saw the gaseous brat right away. I have to read the commem book now, because I can't figure out what is meant by that element of the design. A cloud wouldn't have rays emanating from it. Raindrops? The sun, behind the cloud? Something entirely different? What am I missing? I'll read about the Delaware this evening. Bill I just pulled out my copy of Anthony Swiatek's commem book. All he seems to have to say about it is "Above the church appears the sun's rays piercing the clouds". -- ©¿©¬ ~ Ed Hendricks ANA# R178621 "Life is a coin.

D -- John What did I win? Well, I have won several auctions lately. I am particularly pleased with this one; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3964390355 Coins are in my possession ( all have killer luster, or close to killer, and I grade 62, 62 or 63, and shot 64). I haven't received the classic commemorative halfs that I have most recently won. I won a Connecticut half that I hope I will like, but I suspect I won't. I'll just have to wait. I won at a good price anyway, at least I think it was; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3964184453 I have seen ICG do conservative grading on some early commems, and I have seen at least one ICG commem that I thought they were a point over. As best as I can tell from the tracking site, this seller hasn't shipped yet, even though I paid with Paypal on 3/14. Sigh. I also won this one; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3964443853 and I was totally enthusiastic, until I was showing the auction page to my manager and it occurred to me that the one Texas I have could be the same date and mintmark. A check with my database showed the one keeper that I have was in fact the same date and mint mark and a coin that I like very, very much. I own this one; http://showcase.netins.net/web/bills...ins/Texas1936D If I could afford it, I would buy and keep every commem that looked good to me. It wouldn't make any difference if I already owned ten of one date and mint mark. However, I can't afford to do that, so this recent purchase will mean I will have to make what may be an agonizing decision as to which coin I keep and which coin I convert to cash. I am not looking forward to it and I made a stupid mistake bidding on the recent 36-D Texas. Nowhere close to the answer you were looking for, John, but anywho, that's my answer to your question.

Looks like you got a good price for the three coins. Congrats1 It's always a good feeling when raw coins look as good in person as they do on the auction page. Anita |
