Popular Post Coinbuf Posted June 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2021 I needed a new collecting direction as I was feeling a bit stagnated. So I would like to introduce my new Parking lot collection!! As you can see it in its infancy with room to grow, but I already have a few great examples including the confetti nickel, and the amazing mint error quarters! Actually I think there are multiple errors but I didn't want to be too greedy. Well I hope you all enjoy the new collection and be sure to follow along for new and exciting updates and upgrades.

Sometimes you have to take what your given, I'm sure I'll find a more suitable upgrade soon; or is that a downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hating, That coin is destined to be the cornerstone piece. I plan to have them all slabbed and the pedigree added for good measure. 19 minutes ago, ronnie stein said: I see doubling on one. That is at least a triple die with a few other mint errors to boot. Ratzie has nothing on this set!

RWB Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Think of the expense of having custom cut holders made. Which ANA exhibit category will this be in? That's worth a quick run to a Chicago suburb. Coinbuf and RonnieR131 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's worth a quick run to a Chicago suburb. Then if he chooses the right Chicago suburb, which there are many, he can add a coin with a bullet hole or two. That’s deserving of a spot in the set for sure. Hoghead515 and Coinbuf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Well I don't think the set will be ready for display that soon, however the chance to obtain a bullet holed coin for the set is a powerful motivator. Hoghead515 and Woods020 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebeav Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 That's a beautiful collection. I received an error coin in my change at the supermarket the other day. Of course, I tossed it out of the car window in the parking lot as I left. I could just imagine it joining all the other errors laying in that lot.

Jason Abshier Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 If you really wanna hit your set out in the ball park don’t forget $1 Goldie and half dollar is probably the most rarest to find in the parking lot edition. Coinbuf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 The Jeff in the SE corner, I believe, is Extra Special and likely unique. When's the last time anyone saw multi-colored peripheral pointillism applied in so disciplined and yet seemingly random a manner as to avoid a charge of defacing a Federal landmark? This coin, exhibiting an unusually creative approach to mimicking PMD using ice cream sprinkles, is in a class all by itself. Nice recovery, Coinbuf!

These two will be the most difficult to find in problem free while having outstanding parking lot condition and a plethora of mint errors, the search continues.

I do believe that a details coin could become a part of the P-lot collection; however it will need to be a true parking lot condition coin with at least one unverifiable mint error to its credit.

The old time 'Trick Shooters' - Oakley, Cody and whom ever you want to call up never put a hole in a coin tossed in the air. Though they hit it every time. Cain you figure out how they did it?

In the days of Cody and Oakley they would open the cartridge, dump half the black powder put and then fill the cartridge with very fine BBs known as, you guessed it, Bird Shot. Disregard the stories you hear about guys like Wild Bill. Hickok only made one truly amazing show, across a town square of about 50 yards, to hit Dave Hutt in the heart. Hickok fired with his converted 36 Navy Colt resting over his forearm. No quick draw or single hand for him. I have been known to hit a Kennedy Half Dollar at 50 yards, off hand, with a Thompson Center Hawken .50 Cal single shot Black Powder rifle. I challenged a guy who had a multi shot .22 Caliber rifle with a scope. He hit 0 for 5 while I hit 5 for 5. How did that happen? Hint: Technology.

RWB Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Given my first rifle at 12 yrs old. Used to line up silver dollars as targets at about 25 meters. Easy to see and easy to know when I hit the target. Hoghead515 and RonnieR131 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used bring few golf balls with me toss them out in front of the barrel hold gun up to my shoulder one handed while other hand tossed ball out in front of gun if you hit it right that ball will fly like 400-500 yards like a rocket . I didn’t hit every golf ball but I hit most of them I learn that trick from Tom Knapp shotgunning trick shooter … Right now ammo too precious and hard to come by and too expensive you won’t find me goofing off and shooting golf balls this year. I mostly shoot oddball gauges like 16GA and 28GA ammo real PITA to find for those 2 gauges even online everywhere is sold out ! Back order ! All stores are stripped cleaned no ammo , private sellers want like $20 a box for basic shotgun ammo . I hope the ammo craze ends sooner return back to normal Alex in PA. and thebeav 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say meters , my oldest son is a Marine when ever he can come home to hunt with me he takes the opportunity last year he harvested a deer he said “Dad I shot this deer at about 100 meters” we all say “yards” although meters are longer than yards I’m just not used to hearing meters all time … I notice military people use meters more than yards to describe distance Edited June 13, 2021 by Jason Abshier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
