A friend gave me a birthday  present.  He knows I have that coin saving disease.He gave me a 2021 (W) Silver Eagle.  I was very excited when I was opening the package and saw that it was minted in West Point.  I only have 2-3 other coins with a W mintmark.  When I looked for the W, I could not find it.I thought I was ripped off, or that I was really lucky because this was an error coin.  Then I thought maybe this is the way it is supposed to be.I have always relied on the kindness of others.  Someone please help.Now, if the image comes out the right way, that would be a miracle.Enjoy the warm weather,Mr. B

I could not help myself.  But, I felt safe.My wife and I got out of Chicago.  I worked remotely from our place in Michigan.   We had our second vaccination shot a week earlier.  On the first 40 degree day, we decided to go for a drive.  As luck would have it we drove into Holland Michigan.  We ended up at the Holland Coin Shop.  I had my mask on and there was no one else in the shop.I asked about a few items and then saw this 1852 Large Cent.  I thought it would fit in my Type Set.  The price was right so I pulled the trigger.I'm taking baby steps and making progress.Hope everyone is doing well.Mr. B

COIN SEARCH

I mainly collect cents and half cents.I also recently started collecting a type set.The coin I have that I want to feature today is a 1980 S Proof Quarter.  I'm trying to add the image with little luck.There were 3,554,806 minted.John Flanagan designed the coin.  His initials are on Washingtons neck.The S mint mark is located on the obverse near Washington's pony tail.The reverse has the eagle.While I don't plan on including proof coins to this set, if the price is right I'll jump.Now, back to trying to get the picture.All the best,Mr. B
