in the area, all I can find that interested me was this one ounce.999 silver art bar of Kennedy.

I went to one shop in which I have never gone before, its in Rancho Mirage. I forget the name of the shop
but I wouldn't recommend this guy to my worst enemy. Everything that I was interested in his shop
he told me that it was "not for sale".......All he really wanted to see was proof sets from
50's on up and ASE's.

Anyways went to my regular guy and all I found of interest was this art bar.......toned of course:Funny;
Never seen this one before, but doesn't mean much, I miss alot of things :)


So here is my huge purchase of the day. I liked it so much I cropped the Kennedy cameo and placed it
side by side for the full effect.



Goes to show you collecting does not have to cost an arm and a leg to make you happy!!

That's a pretty nice art bar, coinsarefun.  : )

I like its toning, too. 
I have collected U.S coins for many years, and then Civil War Tokens, but am now actively building a collection of Conder Tokens,
the coins that made the Industrial Revolution a whopping success. : )

Isn't it irritating when someone acts like they're doing you a favor just being there? There are a couple of them like that in my immediate area. The bad part is that they are the only two nearby.

A pattern of well sunned Kennedys seem to be emerging here.  ???
