A Revenue Lucky Find

I've just won off StampWants a R17c this is a lucky find as It's the first one I've seen come up for auction in two years ,also won this month an R74c,R77c and a R79c so eight to go to complete the set .

regards Harry

Great stamps. I was looking at the picture of them on http://www.revenue-collector.com/usrevs.shtml. Post pictures when ya get them if you can :)

I am fascinated by the existence of US revenue stamps (and indeed from around the world) and at some point will have to really study them. They are an interesting way to look at the commercial history of the country in question.

Speaking of revenue, I wonder how Bfranton is doing?

She's alive and ... well.... It was 111 here last Thur, so stopped the cataloging process and went to the mountains for the weekend. Nice thing about CA... you're within 2 hours of beach or mountains.

It sounds to me like you've been carrying that kangaroo foot around for luck lately. Congrats!

Thanks all and as I type this It's winging It's way down under I'll post a photo of the four revenue's as soon as I get the R17c,Greg your insight worries me I'm starting to look over my shoulder,I also carry a lucky Peace dollar and a lucky rabbit foot as well .



P.S. Thanks for the link Eopie

Forgive me, but all of this talk about lucky things and I just had to say Howdy! Plus out of curiosity, I was wondering which mountains you went to? The reason I was asking is because I was born up in Lake Arrowhead.

Lucky

We went to Big Bear Lake. Drove right by Arrowhead going the back route on 138/18.

dear harry

do you have a 1964 peace dollar by ny chance?

I'm not Harry, but I might... I'm putting off the coin cataloging til I've better handle on the stamps. Keep me posted if you find one.

No Spock I'm not that lucky,the one I carry is a 1922 S this one's a spare and I do have a few,I need 7 coins to make up the full set.



G'Day B,the Last Peace dollar went into circulation in 1935,I don't believe any of the 1964 Peace dollars made it out of the mint or into circulation and if there are any floating around there worth a kings ransom

Harry,
What 8 are you missing? I have LOTS and LOTS and LOTS....and LOTS of Duplicates! I might be able to help!

Eric

dear rev,

do you want to trade indian coins for peace dollars :)

i always like dthe old american coins :) but they are just out of reach here.

Thanks Eric though these are the most expensive of the all the Peace dollars and I don't know what the total cost would be but here are the ones missing from the collection,most coins in my album are Au or under (almost fine to extra fine)
1926-D
1927-P & S
1928-P & S
1935-P & S
As you can see big money coins mate so I thank you for your offer.

(Eric was refering to the revenues this is my bad and didn't my face go red when he corrected me sorry all for bringing the coins in on a stamp forum some times I forget where I am)
