Favorite finds of the year - what was yours?

[Ben Cartwright SASS]

Looking back at the year, these are my 3 favorite finds.

My favorite if not the best condition is the 1963 Franklin Cameo Proof.

The Mercury is unbelievable with split bands on the reverse.

The King George V is also beautiful.

Which is your favorite of these and what was your favorite find this year?

1963 Franklin Cameo Proof - not perfect now, but it must have been impressive when it was taken out of the proof set

1917 Mercury Dime with split bands

1916 King George V

Chinese replica'/counterfeit I get them from China to sell at gun shows, but I mark them all "COPY", cost me $1.00 with free shipping and I sell them for $10.

Who buys them??

People walking around the gun show I mark them copy on the holder and the coin is marked copy and I tell them that they are copy/replicas and not real. I also sell real Wheaties and Buffalos and Halves and Morgans that I am upgrading from my collection.


I got the Chinese coins to scrollsaw for Christmas Ornaments and pendants, I can't bring myself to cut up a real coin.
