New Acquisition

[RLC35 288]

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!

Very nice!

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?

I still think its a lovely coin BTW, I was just poking fun at Peter, as that one does have a carbon spot ;-)

Its generally does seem true that unlustred bronze is less susceptible to them, though.

Thanks! I thought I was pretty lucky finding it. You don't find too many in the 1840's over here for sale.

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?

Interesting!

First time I've seen a picture of that variety - thanks
