Spectacular! A wonderful Lincoln.

That is the most beautiful 1909 cent I've ever seen! It's breathtaking...

What a lovely cent! I just adore how copper tones over the ages...

That Canadian dollar is stupendous! I feast on it. Was it very expensive, if you don't mind my asking? I would love to add one like it to my Canadian collection!

Hello Eric;

Total monster toning on that Morgan! I feast on it! Too bad for those fingerprints though. Fingerprints irritate the heck out of me, but I know that a lot of collectors don't really mind. If I had the opportunity to acquire that coin though, I would fully overlook the fingerprints, for sure!

I mean what were the collectors in the past thinking when they pawed mint state coins with their greasy fingers? Certainly they would know that the fingerprints would leave a lasting impression that would affect the surface of the coin, don't you think? I mean it is common sense, but what do I know? They were also cleaning their coins with jeweler's rough, silver polish, cyanide and who knows what else!

A stunning coin with eye appeal galore. Do you collect toners or did this one just jump out at you screaming buy me?

Your Morgan dollar appears to me to be proof like. I was just wondering if it was. It is very attractive. I adore proof like Morgans!

Hello CoinDude; Your 1912 Matte Proof Lincoln Cent is absolutely stunning! It is so beautiful that I had to take a minute and just stare at it in awe. You made a superior choice and I would like to congratulate you of your recent acquisition. Are you going to or are you currently forming a Lincoln Cent matte proof collection? I would totally go for it except the cost factor is prohibitive. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous specimen with us.

I have a certain affinity for half dimes and yours is absolutely gorgeous! I'm green with envy. Congratulations on your new addition.

My first Half Dime!

 

You two nickels are gorgeous. I had no idea of these being minted with the original reverse design! First time I have seen them. Thanks for posting.

I finally found me a set of the FSNC-2002 Jefferson 1938 Nickels. I picked up the numbered pair #927 (of a mintage of 1,938 each of the MATTE finish and the PROOF finish).

 

They are beauties in hand!

Nk1nk; That coin is awesome. I would've purchased that one also, just for a conversation piece at least!

MorganGuru and Toyman; Very nice additions to your collections!

Gunny; the toning on your dime is magnificent. Many of the Barbers tone up very nicely and yours is one of them. Monster eye appeal!

Dordelli;

Your 2 Cent piece is just fantastic! You should be very proud of your purchase as it is a beauty with eye appeal galore. Congratulations on your new acquisition.

Your newly acquired Nickel is a great purchase. It is well struck and has excellent eye appeal. Congratulations on your new acquisition Gunny.

Your 1936 nickel is absolutely marvelous! And I feel that the strike is rather bold. Where do you get that the strike is weak?

Congratulations, a nice crisp Jefferson!
