Went to the mountains of Northern New York for ten days. Found a few interesting things

I try my best, if my budget allows, to visit out of the way antique shops while on my various travels. I have been in the mountains of Northern New York for the past ten days visiting my mother. Taking advantage of my - gift -- from my Uncle Sam this year, a trip or two to some antiques shops was on my to-do list while in the mountains.

The first things I picked up were two rolls of 1976 P and 1981 P Pennies. They were sitting on a window sill in a small mom and pop resturaunt. Picked up these unopened UNC rolls for $3.00 each. I feel I did good on this find.

The next thing I picked up was a 1889 P Morgan. The antique shop had about ten of this coins from the 1880s for sale at a cost of $50.00 each.

I forced myself to keep my credit cards in my wallet and purchased only one coin. I want to make sure the official grading and quality of the purchased coin matches my expectations.

Any comments on the images below would be appreciated.

I am now back at home and have my mom visiting with me for a few months. Along with her two mature well-fed cats and poodle joining my own two kittens this should be an interesting visit.

My plan is to have this newest 1889 P Morgan sent in and graded before I return to the Mountains of New York. I hope to purchase a few more of these coins, if the quality and FMV is above normal.

Best wishes to all and have fun on your coin collecting adventures.
