Clearly we need our leader Reid to start another one of his argumentative
insult-fests.

that means coin collecting has taken a back seat to other

My most recent additions to my collection are a bit quirky.
One was an AU-58 1896 Spaulding & Co. So-Called Dollar. The
other was an MS-64 Red 1903 U.S. 1/2 Centavo. Hardly front
page news, at least not for more than a century.

I did send out a few coins to NGC, and got back the usual
mix of good news (a 3cn slabbed out in PR65), expected news
(an INS MS-65 Connecticut crossed at MS-64, an F15 doubloon),
and disappointments (my first NGC purple label for tooling).

Pretty boring, huh?

No not boring at all. Some new's is better than no news. Is the
spaulding and Co. a gold dollar or Silver?

I try and avoid those extra curricular activities around here, my
blood pressure is kinda on its own.

It's a silver piece, with 823 grains of coin silver to denote
the claimed value of a gold dollar and a "wagon wheel" to
indicate the size of a "government" silver dollar. The slab is
marked HK-785, but I don't have the Hibler and Kaplan reference
work.

Original toning, but with three rim irregularities/dings, and
entombed in one of the massive NGC multi-coin slabs. My
macro lens is out on loan, but it there's interest I can
shoot some photos.

Well, dayum, as they say in East Texas. Lets pad it out a little. Things I
don't have, have the money for, and can't find anywhere close to what is
pulished as a retail price. To finish out a type set. Since I deslab coins
to do this, I don't want to get too good a coin. This set is for people to
look at. Lib Seat quarter arrows/rays 1853 MS-60. Capped bust Dime 1828-37
MS-60 (prob 31 or 37). Draped Bust Cent 1796-1807, XF-40 (prob 1802/03/04).
Would love to help the economy.

I'd like to see a pic or two, if you find the time.
