A bad day turned into a good day...

I'm really surprised I'm writing this journal article so soon. Yesterday started out to be a very bad day, as I finally had my dental work (surgery) done. Fortunately, I had no problems, at least not yet, and the oral surgeon was happy, as he had no problems. So I returned home sore and kind of down in the dumps. But when I arrived home, I had Four, yes 4, packages of coins waiting for me. :-) Plus, I felt good enough last night to watch 6 auctions on David Lawrence, each of the auctions was for a piece of Mexican currency I want to add to my "Raising Dust For Mexico Currency Edition". I'll write more about those over in the Notes section.

For now, I'll tell about what I received coin wise. One coin was a 1945-S Walking Liberty half I added to my 1945 Mint Set. It's a nice MS-65, lustrous and no toning (just the way I like them). I've got the pictures taken of it, hopefully I'll be adding the images in the next day or two, as I took the whole week off because I didn't know how I'd be feeling to go back to work.

I also straight purchased an 1845 Large Cent from David Lawrence. I thought I had lost it on auction, but got an email saying I could buy it for $345. So I took the deal, and I'm glad I did. I have the pictures ready for it, so will be adding them to my set listing.

Then from Teletrade I bought a 1987 Proof Dollar, and 4 Mexican coins total, a peso, two 5-Pesos and a gold Medal. The gold medal was the most expensive, but I think it's well worth it. Pictures will be forthcoming for these also.

The only downside is I've pretty much shot my coin budget for the year, and it's not November (quite) yet. And there's a Stack's auction coming up that I have a bunch of lot watches in. So we'll see how it goes. I'm going to attach the obverse of the Large Cent here, and put both images in my set.
