And now for some notable auctions. First, a coin that I have been looking to add to my Kennedy Half collection. The 1998-S Matte Proof NGC SP 70.
Here’s a unique collection of Connecticut Quarter Error Coins in an NGC Multi Coin Holder. The errors include multi-struck, off center, blank planchet, and double clip.
To wrap things up on a Friday, here’s a fun one. It’s a record with a song that any coin collector will appreciate “Our Love is Rarer Than a 1909-S V.D.B. Lincoln Cent.”
Have a great weekend!
