Here is a lovely enameled "S" silver dollar on a seated half
dollar. There used to be a pin on the back, but nothing remains but the
two attachments. An 1860 coin, shows the date, full Liberty, remainder of pin
and two solder spots - what remains of the coin is, in our opinion, Very
Fine. Weighs .357 troy oz. silver, or 10.7 grams. This is from our personal collection.
We believe the initials on this love token are GGB

commemorates the Marshall Plan which was in effect after World War II.

Here is an elongated quarter done in 2004, over a Georgia state quarter, for the
Blue Ridge Numismatic Association 45th. Annual Convention, in Dalton,
Georgia. It has been run through the rollers twice; the first time it was
way off center missing most of the detail (quarters are harder to roll with dies
designed for a cent); the second pass through all of the detail is there though
off center. Interesting. The detail of the Georgia quarter is still
perfectly and completely readable.
This
was a free bonus gift to members of the Franklin Mint Collectors Society.
It was presented August 28 1971. This historic piece contains silver that
went to the moon. These medals sold for hundreds of dollars for a few
brief moments, when they were new. I ordered one for $300 but missed the
chance, luckily, as they are certainly less expensive now.
This very nicely struck and high relief for an elongated piece, was issued on a
1970 D dime. It celebrated the Silver Wedding Anniversary of Dottie &
Don Dow in 1970. It shows the complete detail on reverse of the spread out
dime and is extremely attractive.
Japanese porcelain coin created by the Japanese. It replaced metal which
was needed for the war effort. This circulated for a very short time and
then they were withdrawn; this particular example I bought over thirty years ago
and it came from the Howard Gibbs Collection, coming with his envelope.
The coin is rare and with the envelope it is a super package.
