Man I had to look those coins up in my Red Book.
You just don't see either one, all that often. Congrats on 2 beautiful pieces of early currency.

Awesome coins Gary. I was wondering just the other day if you had been getting out. Don't think I have seen you post since you found those great old buttons. I REALLY like the capped 5 center. Beautiful coin!

Wowee! Those are just beautiful! Congrats Gary... I have found neither seated nor capped, so those little rascals look awesome to me. Best of luck to you!
