Picked this one up at a local show over the weekend.

A coin I picked up due to the outstanding strike on this one, I was hopeful at the time of purchase that perhaps it might be a proof, but have since determined with some help of the folks ATS that it's most likely a Circulation Strike coin. I like it anyway, and don't think I overpaid for it.

A couple of new pickups last week.

I wish the fields on this one were cleaner and deeper, but the frosty gold color on the obverse is just beautiful.

This one was a significant upgrade to my previous 1957 Franklin proof.

This one has a beautiful tone to it.

Very sharp EDS strike on this one.

Incredible 2 sided frost on this baby.

Picked this one up in a $29 OGP proof set off of Ebay.

I went on a raw SMS buying spree last week.

I don't collect buffalo nickels but my 13 year old son is working on a set. When I was at my local B&M on Saturday I took a few minutes to look through his raw buffalos and couldn't leave this one behind.

Very nice Bust half there.

I filled a very tough hole in my 1950-70 Cameo set on Monday with this one.

I freed this one from a boxed set this weekend.

Also picked up these beauties:

Great Isabella Elbesaar...I'd have had to have that too.

Picked these up out of town over the weekend:

I don't collect Morgans but a retired gentleman from our coin club liquidated half o his Morgan collection at our meeting last night and I picked up 3 raw Morgans that I liked. The boys ATS tell me I likely overpaid by a little bit, but I'm happy enough with 'em.

Mod great new raw cams! You know how I love them! I think that 52 is special being as you very rarely see them with the same contrast on obverse and reverse, but I don't think it will cam unless the mirrors are deeper than you show in the pictures. That 52 nickel is oh so close and the key to the Jefferson series! You should do well on that one when (I hope) it comes back cameo. That 58 half is super sweet too, could possibly go ucam! And, that colorful dime... has Jaime (schatzy) contacted you yet!!

Also picked up these over the weekend:

I always seem to buy in groups, had a good time visiting a few shops out of town this weekend.

Here's a couple of colorful BTW Commemoratives, I've picked up the last few weeks.

Good lucking stuff guys.

Here's a few of my pickups from a small local show this weekend.

Here are a few I've picked up the last few weeks:

Visited a nice sized show this weekend 50 tables, unfortunately the size of my cash arsenal wasn't as big as I'd have liked, but I did manage to fill a large number of lower priced holes in my 1950-1970 set of raw cameos as I focussed largely on coins from the mid-late 1960's. But I do need to mention that proof sets from the 1950's and early 60's were in short supply and I heard many comments of "they all went to melt a few months ago" that of course made me glad I began my search for cameos when I did.

These actually came from my local B&M last week:

Without further ado:

Beautiful coin Lee. I have high hopes for my 1957 (posted on the previous page) submitted ATS last week as well.

This one's just for Schatzy...not bad for $2 huh? Reminds me of the "Alien Nation" movie from the 80's.

Major shopping spree at a show this weekend...these are a few of the buys:
