A most rewarding pickup from Mark! This is the first New Orleans member to my Morgan collection.

Holy mackerel Dwaine! Superb ones all!

I also love the Walker.

This 1900 is one of the higher grades in my Barber Half Dansco collection mostly G-4 to VG-8.

Elbesaar! That 1909 has Great Eye Appeal! (thumbs u

(thumbs u ALL!

That pearl handle single action revolver not to bad either

This coin could also be placed under new aquisitions.

I have studied this coin carefully and compared it to other V nickels of higher grade and have decided that this coin has the eye appeal.

Cheers

This arrived the other day - it took

me six months to pay her off !!

Spectacular!

Something a little different:

 

People of the Forum!

1997 ASE one step closer to a completed set. The coin is not very old but I think this design is one of my favorite. I hope to start a set of WLHs soon.

The devices reflection through the slab is distracting but I am working on my photo skills too!

Update: My daughter Sadie's birthyear.

Coinaholics do not get tired of looking at coins Paul. And I am a coinaholic Hic-up (thumbs u

Hic! Me 2 Hic!

Paul, To put it in PCcoin dude's words like that SICK ms 68 morgan you posted the other day......Holy Cr@p, that a cool coin! (thumbs u

Prudden! Glorious PU indeed, in my opinion looks PL to me. The frost devices contrasted over gleaming fields??, reverse doesn't quite match the glory of the OB, but a solid strike with considerable luster. Nice presentation of an old favorite of mine. I have a goal to recover that coin one day, to redeem a past saddness when all I had was that coin:( and HAD to sell it to stay afloat. There are actually a few gems I want back in my collection.

Thanks for sharing

 

You aren't saying thiis Morgan belonged to you at one time?No way!! I think it's one of the nicest MS 66's I've seen. The seller had three or four other MS 66 Morgans at auction tonight as well.This 81S was the best of the group. Now I can sell my PCGS 65,hopefully for a small profit.

No Way am I saying this specific coin. I just bought my first MS 65 coin tuesday this week.

But I had this coin and other Morgans that I sold in 1979/80 at a low point in my life. I coin was raw and perhaps AU 58 to MS 61 from Littleton coin investment co. I think this was before the Morgan dropped in price.

Just a little sentimental reflection that's a'll.

Well I had to buy this roosie!!

Jamie,

That Rosie collection of your just keeps getting better and better.

You have a good eye for the quality choice coins!

Another fine example of the Liberty V nickels. Do you collect the proofs as well or just business strikes?

Dwaine, this set of V nickels started with a old incomplete whitman book from my grandfather. Mostly pocket change specimens you know AG to G-4. I then started to collect VG to XF samples for a dansco book. When I joined this forum, I decided, heck with the VG to XF stuff off E-Bay. Over the last year I have focused on Unc to BU (ones I can afford) and saving for the 1885 1886 1912S in UNC.

Joined heritage and Teletrade.

I currently do not own a Proof but I am eyeing on of Mark Feld's proofs on his web site!

Thanks for asking.

Newest addition to my Veez collection.

Gems All Dwaine! Especially the 59. I love the amber gold with patina highlighted toning.

Keeper!

Fish,looking at the coins here, when you fault your "camera's justice" It makes me think (I) have a REALLY suckie camera!

Cool pictures and cool coin. I don't own a Walking Liberty but have and always will "love" the great artistry. I hope to make that my next collection center piece.

Peace

That is a clash not a die crack. You can also see the C from cent behind Lincoln's neck.

 

Very cool coin!

Educate me! I can see the "C" on the Obverse.

I didnt' even see it until you and Jamie pointed it out. How embarrassing

My first annointed "cool coin"

I think the dude on "auction site" didn't see it either.

Thanks

Slowly completing upgrades to my Lincoln Dansco

So about a month ago I was at an antique shop in MA looking around on a cold Saturday. I spied a book of coins and flipped through the pages. There were some really worn barbers, lincolns and 2cent pieces, some highly corroded with PVC damage. So I flipped a few more pages and found a really dark 1858 Flying Eagle 1C piece in nice condition....for $18. Very little wear and it was my lucky day....it was on sale and I picked it up for $14. I took it out of the package and it was covered in a dark brown grease and it was UGLY. I packed it up and shipped it off to NCS for conservation and then to be graded. I just got the pics today and it graded AU 53. I was hoping for a bit higher, but not bad for about $50 total.

How about the I-wish-it-was-my-find" award!

Howdy from the Old Pueblo

Picked this up from the boys at Coin Rarities Online last week. They are a real pleasure to deal with and they use Mark Goodman for their images so what you see is what you get (thumbs u

Who needs coin museums when we have Boiler? I am still looking for the eye that popped out when I first looked at this beauty.

Signed Monocular!

The large cent makes a good collection mate for this proof half cent also a recent addition to the type set.

 

Sock Knocker Offer!
