Here is one of my favorite recent acquisitions. Why? Because it is so rare and difficult to find in this condition. Any guesses on the grade? No peeking for those of you who know how!

My Dad was born in 1917 and I have been picking up interesting

coins of that date. Here's my newest pick up:

A new one for my Morgan set. I wish I could find more like this. The reverse is PL and the lines on the cheek are actually just breaks in the toning. This is very

quickly one of my favorites!
