RLC35 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Here is a new addition for me...a nice 1846 Penny. I got it at the Long Beach Coin Expo, in California. The Exposition Center is only a few block away from Long Beach Harbor, where the Queen Mary is docked. The "Queen" is now a hotel, and restaurant complex. The ship looks like the Titanic, setting right up against the dock. It is a beautiful ship! Quote

Peter Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Bob that is so nice.Give me a toned unlustred without carbon spots every time. Quote
Oxford_Collector Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Very nice! Bob that is so nice.Give me a toned unlustred without carbon spots every time. I've given up trying to collect untoned lustred bronze, though, if being picky, isn't that a (small) carbon spot and the top of the back of the neck? Quote

Colin G. Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Well done Bob that is a great looking coin!! Quote
RLC35 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks! I thought I was pretty lucky finding it. You don't find too many in the 1840's over here for sale. Quote
RLC35 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Another recent find, a little more scarce than the 1846 Penny, is my new 1870 "Dot!" This coin is not listed in Freeman, but is footnoted in Freeman, to the 1870, by footnote #16. Has anyone else actually seen on of these? Quote
