San Francisco Financial District.
With a huge street mural, native people tell Wells Fargo they will not be bought off with greenwashing grant $$ while the bank extends huge lines of credit to Canadian oil corporation, TransCanada, to build the Keystone XL pipeline and others investing in fossil fuel infrastructure projects.
Grandmothers from the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in South Dakota join native people and allies in the Bay Area to bring Thunderbird Woman back to Montgomery Street where she made an appearance November, 2017. While sharing stories of struggle for clean land, air, water and for Indigenous Sovereignty, they call for divestment from Wells Fargo and for Wells Fargo to divest from the fossil fuel industry.

COIN DEALER SETS RECORD WITH $1.65 MILLION DOLLAR PURCHASE
Douglas Winter Numismatics, a rare coin dealership located in Portland Oregon, set a world-record price for a Liberty Head double eagle with their recent purchase of one of only two known 1861 Philadelphia Paquet reverse double eagles for $1,645,000. The coin was bought out of an auction held in Rosemont, Illinois, and Winter immediately resold the coin for a profit to a specialist collector.
What makes this coin so special, according to numismatists, is its unique reverse design which was the work of Assistant Mint Engraver Anthony Paquet. Paquet joined the U.S. Mint staff in 1857 but was only given a few assignments, including the redesign of the reverse (back side) of the “double eagle” or twenty dollar gold piece. The design was rejected by Mint officials for artistic reasons.
An unknown but extremely small number of 1861 double eagles—or twenty dollar gold pieces—were struck in Philadelphia with this special reverse, and today only two are known. According to Winter, “The iconic Paquet reverse double eagle from Philadelphia is ranked as the fourth rarest regular issue United States gold coin, and it is by far the rarest issue in the popular double eagle. It is rarer even than the legendary 1933 twenty dollar gold piece, an example of which sold at auction for $7.59 million in July 2002.” The $1,645,000 paid by Winter is a record price for any double eagle with the Liberty Head design (struck 1850-1907), or for any gold coin regardless of denomination produced between 1838 and 1906.
The history of this 1861 Paquet Reverse $20, graded MS61 by PCGS, is fascinating. The coin was discovered before 1875 and was first sold at an auction for $26. It later disappeared (and was likely spent and then was included in an overseas bullion shipment to Europe) and was rediscovered in Paris by an American coin dealer. In its last auction appearance, in 2006, the same coin realized $1,610,000.
Douglas Winter Numismatics specializes in choice and rare United States gold coinage produced between 1795 and 1933. The firm is the largest and most active rare coin dealer in the Pacific Northwest, and has been active in the numismatic industry since 1985.

Flyer from the wall at BeSides Records 1997-2003
This is the first of a new set featuring a collection of flyers,posters, and photos collected from BeSides Records store 1997-2003. BeSides was one of my all-time favorite stores and I even worked there once a year during Jubilee Day. Met a lot of friends there too!
When the store closed in 2003 Brian let me have all the flyers from the wall which I have saved. A bunch of them are from local Harrisburg area shows.
Recently I talked to Brian and asked him if it was alright if I made a set from the store to share here on Flickr so stay tuned for more.
If you have anything you would like to share from BeSides, especially photos, please send a message...enjoy!
A few weeks ago i managed to get hold of 2 of the vintage Japanese version of the Monchhichi houses and now this past vacation i spent in Berlin i found the new Monchhichi house for 2013!!!
I am so happy!
My monchhichi village is coming along nicely!
What to do on a down pouring Saturday, apart from building a Ark! .... Go for a drive down to Berry! Plenty of shops to keep everyone entertained with interests for all ages. I found a shop that peeked my interest, and hanging on the wall was a guitar that stood out from the rest.

Large Head, L on neck. This is the more common of the 1849 Open Wreath gold dollar varieties and it is quickly identifiable by the position of the coronet tip. The 1849 Open Wreath with L is common in the lower Uncirculated grades but it is less available in Gem than the common 1851-1853 issues. It is, however, a tough coin in Gem.
This is an impressive first-year-of-issue which is both numismatically significant and aesthetically appealing.
how many clocks have I dismantled over the years? who knows! I prefer to take them apart myself - and even have the scars to prove it.
These images are a smaller size - because I'm worried they'll get used for commerical reasons - and so I've got the larger full sized. BUT - if you would like to use them you can contact me at my zero.space @ gmail addy or on clockworkzero on etsy. I'm pretty approachable.
Mintage: 11,634

Closed Wreath variety. This is a numismatically significant issue as the first collectable gold dollar from this mint. There is also an 1849-C Open Wreath variety, but it is excessively rare with just five known and few collectors can afford it. A total of 11,638 Closed Wreath coins were produced by the Charlotte Mint in 1849, and an estimated 10 to 15 are known in Uncirculated. Most are in the MS60 to MS61 range and this issue is very rare in MS62 and above. I am aware of four or five that grade MS63 and I have never seen one better than this.

There are numerous varieties of 1849-P gold dollar, but most of these use the Open Wreath reverse. Due to striking problems, the mint changed over to a Closed (or “Close”) Wreath reverse later in the year and this is the design type seen most often. This issue is common in the lower Uncirculated grades but it becomes very scarce in MS64 and it is rare in MS65. MS66 and finer examples are extremely rare.
This is one of the two nicest examples of this variety that I have seen. It is well struck and extremely frosty with light rose and orange-gold color on the obverse and deeper shades of orange-gold on the reverse. The strike is sharp except for a touch of weakness at the very center of the reverse. There is a single fine old line on the cheekbone that runs diagonal to Liberty’s eye and some minor scuffing in the fields.

It's up to the very men we know and trust in our communities to make the right choices. End sex trafficking today and don't buy into it!Demi and Ashton Foundation is raising awareness by asking real men to take pictures like this :)
Sometimes we get bikes through the shop that are just outstanding . . This is one of those times. Give up a little love for this Nagasawa build.

What's so remarkable about this 1849-D gold dollar is its vivid multi-hued coloration. When discussing Dahlonega gold dollars, color is seldom a topic of conversation. But in the case of this coin, I think the color is not only nicer than on any known example of the date but maybe for any known gold dollar from this mint. I know that's a pretty major claim but, in all seriousness, I can't ever recall having seen a Dahlonega gold dollar of any date that had this kind of amazing natural color.

Mintage: 215,000
This is the first gold dollar produced at the New Orleans mint. It is common in circulated grades and relatively easy to find in MS60 to MS62. It becomes scarce in MS63, rare in MS64 and very rare in Gem. Many are seen with weakness of strike on the digits in the date.
Mintage: 14,000
The 1850-O is the rarest gold dollar ever produced at the New Orleans. It sells for less in higher grades than the more common 1855-O, but the latter issue, because of its one-year type status, is in greater demand amongst a larger variety of collectors. The 1850-O is generally seen in the EF40 to AU50 grades. There are a few dozen known in Uncirculated with the great majority in the MS60 to MS61 range. Properly graded MS62's are rare and this is a very rare coin in full MS63 with just six graded as such by PCGS and two finer (both MS64's).
This moderately abraded example is well-struck with nice luster and a pleasing appearance. A few scuffs can be seen on the obverse; the reverse is very choice. Both sides display medium orange-gold hues.
Despite increased popularity in New Orleans gold coins and gold dollars in general, the pricing of this condition rarity has stayed flat, making it a very good value in my opinion.

The 1850 is, by far, the hardest Type One gold dollar from Philadelphia to locate. It becomes rare in properly graded MS65 and, unlike the common dates from 1851-1853, it is not an issue that is seen from time to time in “wonder grades.”
The best 1850 gold dollar that I have seen is the PCGS MS67 (ex Eliasberg) coin that was last sold for a record-breaking $54,625 in the 2010 ANA auction.
The 1850 gold dollar is not easy to find in Gem.
