1917 franklin 12 cents us stamp used

Here in this post we will discuss the topic of a 1917 Franklin 12 cents us stamp that is used.

The subject here is used and this stamp’s centering is decent perhaps fine-very fine. Benjamin Franklin
has been featured many many times on stamps when looking back at US postal history. He should be
as he was Post Master General with the Continental Congress as well as for the previous British
Government. Franklin contributed greatly to progressing the Post Office in the United States including
the accounting aspects as well as significantly adding to routes and service.

1837 Liberty Head Hard Times Token

This post will take a look at an1837 Liberty Head Hard Times Token. On the front is Lady Liberty flanked by stars on each side with American motto in latin words E Pluribus Unum. The bottom of the obverse displays the year 1837. During this period in US history a depression was going on and tokens like this were used as money (hence why it is called a Hard Times token). On the reverse is the phrase "MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE NOT ONE CENT FOR TRIBUTE." This was coined by Robert Goodloe Harper in the late 1700s in defiance of a request of bribes by Talleyrand (French Foreign Minister) in order to negotiate. Apparently this wasn't something out of the ordinary for Talleyrand to request, American diplomats were offended. The Quasi War occurred shortly afterwards and lasted for a couple of years.

Silver US 1933 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin San Francisco Mint

Silver US 1933 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin San Francisco Mint In 1933 the US mint only made silver half dollars in the San Francisco mint. They made 1.786 million of these Walking Liberty 50 cent pieces in the S mint and this was after a break of 3 years. The previous year of production for these was 1929. Silver was continually used comprising 90 percent of this coin or in measurement terms .3617 ounces of the precious metal. The mintage isn’t that high and they were only made in one mint that year. This coin was struck in arguably the worse year of the Great Depression and there weren't a large supply of coin minted in general. Walking Liberty Halves began in the year 1916 and I would say their design is the most memorable of any US 50 cent piece in the 20th century. Certain silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are keydates can command large premiums especially those with very low mintages (especially in uncirculated grades). A compl...

Greek 20 Drachma Coin from 1976

This post will examine a 1976 Greek 20 Drachma coin which can be looked at in the photographs at the end of this entry. Its condition appears to be that of extra fine. I rather enjoy the design which has on its front an image of The Parthenon which is an ancient building in Athens, Greece which was built to honor the mythological goddess Athena. On the bottom of the front is the date and the words: EAAHNIKH AEMOKPATIA which in English means the Greek Democracy. Also notice the word: APAXMAI which is the name of the currency, in English: Drachma. The back of this coin has a helmeted Pericles who was a noteworthy politician and general and who was born about 500 years BC. Pericles contributions to the ancient Athenian Empire were profound, not only from a military standpoint but also from an educational one as he promoted the arts and literature. This coin is constructed out of a combination of copper and nickel. Its weight is 11 grams an...
