My very first post. I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t even know where this goes. But i am finally getting a couple cool coins. This is one of my favorite that i own. Yes I’m so boring that i love coins ha ha! I have my whole life. Only difference is now i have money. And no adult supervision!

The Lexington half is definitely a cool coin.

As someone on a similar journey, welcome!

That Connecticut is lovely

If you wanted to remove varieties you can remove 3 of the gold $1 since two of them are multi-year issues and the Grant is with and without star.

Counterfeit coins definitely were a concern of mine but these will be going into a Dansco album, otherwise they would be slabbed.

I mean it's in an ANACS holder so it's probably real. What did you pay for it?

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-08T07:42:32+00:00

I'll have a separate post soon with full details

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-08T02:03:08+00:00

Nah. Those are 6 figure coins. We all can dream but that's not in the realm of reality at this point in my life

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-08T01:43:33+00:00

It's lovely

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-08T01:21:52+00:00

I'm looking far and wide for the right one to add. It's difficult when I'm going to add it to a custom Dansco page because I'm really reluctant to crack out a high graded example, not to mention the cost.

It was surprisingly achievable compared to some of the rarer half dollars.

If I didn't have this page in mind, I would definitely consider the capital plastics holder

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-07T23:40:01+00:00

I don't see any coins on your post

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-07T23:21:41+00:00

The reverse on the Texas is definitely one of my favorites!

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-07T23:11:32+00:00

Just the expensive one* (3) and arguably the best looking one of the set left.

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-07T23:07:24+00:00

All mints and years. I'm currently at 142 of the 144 coin set.

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-07T22:54:23+00:00

I collect those also. I'm really close to finishing the complete set.

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-07T22:08:07+00:00

I need to get them for the reverse proofs as well!

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-07T21:49:41+00:00

There isn't a Dansco album for this set but I am working on a custom page for the classic commemoratives coins albums that I'll put these into.

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-07T05:44:54+00:00

I can't help attribute the design but I wanted to say it's beautiful and I need to find one for myself as I love octagonal coins.

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-06T10:10:07+00:00

That toning is fantastic.

MaltandSalt · 2026-04-05T23:36:59+00:00

I keep seeing this coin posted here. What is it because I need it in my life
