Hi Friends 👋
A few days ago I went past my former fave LCS to have a looky-loo and pick up a few capsules (for an upcoming event…) While I was there I learned that tho they still have Canadian “junk” available — there was NO MORE US Constitutional available. Available, that is, to be bought by face-dollar value. Now if you wanted a graded piece, and were willing to pay a collectors price then there was stock available. But my point is: there is no more bulk. Even rubbed-out, faded old half’s have begun to command premiums as can be witnessed by the total lack of supply.
Now it’s true that I live in Canada, and so obviously there is less Ag Americana up here than down south, but there used to be more. A lot more. And this is understandable because so many of the US Constitutional coins are gorgeous. At any rate, I guess what I’m saying is don’t overlook these gems — they’re literally not making them anymore; and like a fine whiskey or an old Ferrari, primos are going up. If you can still get your hands on some that might grade out above “good” for a reasonable price then snap them up. Once upon a time you could look through bins and pick out the ones you wanted — but not anymore.
So imagine my delight when I decided to take a peek inside a tube I found while I was looking for something else. There was a barber and a few Franklins in there as well, but perhaps I’ll show them another time.
Here is a bunch of one of my all time favourites — right up there with Cad $1, Merc dimes and original 80’s Libertads.
The Walker! (And a few Kennedy halfs for good measure 🤩👍👍)
Hunt it down and snap it up!
