thanks bsshog40! I recently counted up my commems and I'm getting real close on completing the type set for early commemoratives. I need 10 more! Of course they're the expensive ones and with some of them being so high priced I might have to go with an AU or less when my original goal is MS65 or better. It's time to start saving up again. I'm thinking about a nice Antietam for Christmas to me! It's all a matter of will power at this point.

Here's a couple more that showed up. I upgraded to a MS66 on the BTW. The upgrade was so cheap I had to do it. The San Diego is also due to the same deal. Both graded by PCGS.

Love the buffalo's

Got this one with someone else picking up 75% of the tab!

Thanks for the kind words.

I've been collecting the early commemoratives now for about 6 mos. and I've accumulated about 50 of them so far with the majority of the coins being graded at MS65 or better. This has been a fun set to collect and I hope to finish it.... years down the road!

Here's a couple the postman left me this weekend.

Nice coins all!

Well here's a few I just got. Still working on getting all the early commem's. I think I've got less than a hundred to go to get all 144. Wow that looks like a large number....

Wow nice coins all. Love that Antietam commem. I hope to get one myself someday. Here's a couple of recent pick ups.

Great coins all!

I just picked up these two yesterday. I've wanted the Connecticut coin for quite some time now and I think I got one with a very nice strike and good luster. I also got quite a nice Wisconsin coin. The fields on the coin look quite clean and again the strike is awesome.

Here you go:

I've had a lot of issues with seeing images this week, so I'll just say, "NICE COINS EVERYONE!!!" Congrats on completing the set Stgecko!

 

Thanks on the congrats! I'm thinking I need to have some cheese cake in celebration.

I finally did it. I got my last Booker T Washington commemorative in todays mail. I now have all 18 graded MS65 or higher. I'm glad I did it now that I can see all the coins together in one set.

Here's my 2nd to last BTW. One more and I'm done with those! I can't wait until it's done.

Too funny Bob!

Thought I'd throw in a 56 something, I'll figure out which one by the time I post this.

I hope it's ok I switched to quarters.

Sorry I didn't see all the quarters before me, I was impatient and didn't wait for the photos to download. My bad.

Well another BTW arrived today! One more is on the way and then I have to pony up for the last four. Here she is a 1948 BTW with some really nice lustre to it.

Sorry about one pic being smaller than the others but that's the way it worked out.

1928 or an early commemorative.. I think I can accommodate that.

Very nice lincolns!

I won't dissapoint on the next pics as I've got two more BTW's on the way and then I need 4 more to complete the BTW set!

Well since it was payday I ran to the coin shop and picked this little beauty up! It looks like the very epitome of uncirculated. I'm thinking MS65+, keep your fingers crossed for me when I eventually send it in. It could be a while so I don't know when I can give you all feedback on it but rest assured as always any batch I have graded I will eventually share with you all anyway.

I wish the lustre would've shown a bit better as it's just dripping with it.

Ok I know you won't be able to hold your excitement back but here's another two BTW's, 1949S & 1951S the 49 is in my first old rattle from PCGS, pretty interesting holder I now know where they got the name.

Here's a couple that arrived today and I'm bummed because I have no more on the way in and Christmas is over.

Anyway I love the Texas Reverse (it's so busy) and I like the Deleware ship. Here they be:

PS awesome coins everyone

Those presidential cameos are freaky frosted. If there is such a phrase.

Polished is rejected because you're losing actual material? (original material) Sounds logical to me. I've also decided to spend the extra money and step up the Oregon to MS65 after I return this one. I decided I can squeeze a little more money out of the old coffee can.

Thanks Tom!

Since you all recognized the dip right away I wanted your opinion on this Deleware. To me it looks remarkably clean. Any opinions anyone?

For the price I paid it would not suprise me that it's been cleaned and/or tampered with and that's ok as I think it looks good in hand.

Sorry to disappoint but it's not another BTW.

It is my first example of an Oregon and being a Northwesterner I should've had this one a long time ago. Completing the set of Oregons is not a big priority at this time as I'm still working the BTW set.

Here's the 1926 I just got. Sorry the lighting looks off a bit. I'm not sure why it changed all of the sudden but I'll have to investigate.

Talk about your muscular cattle!
