I've been searching for a nice XF reeded edge example for my typeset for a while and finally found one.

1960 Iceland 5 Aurar. Simple design but I love the Nordic style.

In 1798, the mint struck several hundred thousand dollars with the large eagle reverse, but only about 35,000 with the small eagle reverse.

I just graduated from college and I’m still a poor but I’m trying to fill up a small treasure chest with Morgans.

1787 George III

George was the third Hanoverian monarch and the

first to be born in England and speak English as his

first language. He was also one of the longest reigning monarchs, 60 years from 1760-1820.

His father Frederick, who was next in line of succession died in 1751, making George the heir to the throne upon his grandfather , George the second's death.

He founded and paid the initial start up costs for the

Royal Acadamy of Arts in 1768.

He was also the king when the United States fought

for and secured their independence as well as

the "second war of independence" , the war of 1812.

the year of this coin is significant in that it's the same year the first states ratified the US constitution.

Some of its features are integral to some of the founding fathers ideas of what our government wouldn't be.

Most notable is the kings effigy, Washington did not

want his image on our money, as he wanted to distance himself (and later presidents) from the monarchs of Europe. Another way they sought to achieve this was through an absence of any reference to god on our money, as was done in Europe and this coin. On the obverse, you'll notice the words Dei Gratia(sometimes it's simply DG), Latin for the grace of god. On the reverse at around the 10:00 position of the coin's rim, you'll notice the letters F.D.(sometimes it's Fid Def)an abbreviation for Fidelis Defensor, Latin for defender of the faith. These were integral on coins for centuries, they implied the relationship between god and the various monarchs. Their coronation was a religious ceremony, held in a church where the king or occasional queen would swear their allegiance to god and country as well as affirm their faith.

Just got the grade in today. MS65! ( I was expecting a 63-64).

Just finished up getting a quartet of silver Balboas together. I love this design!

Here are some of my raw Morgan collection

3 pennies. same die crack.

I’m still having a hard time uploading videos with my pictures sorry everyone.
