Love that medal FW.

 

BTW, looks like there were 2 obverse dies for the U.S. Capitol medals! Very nice.

 

You are correct. One is the 'Small Letters' and the other is the 'Large letters' .... I just wanted both of them. They are rather common I believe.

 

I have the alternate Centennial medal on its way in three different metal compositions. It is a much better looking design that the one pictured previously in my opinion.

 

 

Gorgeous!

Cool Medals bill. Can't wait to see your coin cabinet too.

Thank you all for the kind words.

I couldn't resist this one. 80-S MS64 DPL. Looks to have some subtle coloring!

My first Seated Half! For my 7070 set.

 

And you chose a doozy for the first one. That Seated Half has good strike in most places.

 

Very nice looking coin(s) that have been posted.

 

 

Thanks Bill. I couldn't pass this one up. With this purchase, I hope to have found a great dealer that will help me with my future purchases.

BTW, I'm now way over budget for 2014. If this was a business, I'd be getting a call from the CFO asking me what the hell I think I'm doing.....

Love that coin in Proof Elbesaar! Very nice! I agree with your tag line...

This is really an obsession!

Thanks Matt.

I really love the Liberty Head Design on gold pieces. It's a very clean obverse, IMO.

You picked out a great looking MS63! I can see why you jumped on that for your collection. Well done.

Awesome additions Joe. (thumbs u

Thanks Irvin. I believe my 2014 coin budget has now been met.

The pictures for these two Peace dollars don't reflect the coin in hand. The 1925 toning is very subtle. It's a golden/coppery color. The coin comes from the 57th St. Hoard. It's very nice in hand. The line on the cheek concerned me when bidding, but in hand, it is barely visible. It is not a scratch, but it appears to be a light break in the luster. The 1924 has a few slight ticks in the fields and has great luster.

It's clear that I need to send these and other coins in my collection to one of the many excellent coin photographers who participate on this site.

My first two St. Gaudens!

- 1908 No Motto

- 1909-S from The Gilded Age Collection (has some subtle orange/rose toning when viewed at the correct angle.

Great additions all. Bill, very nice looking penny.

Great looking Peace Dollar and Toned Barber Dime!

Beautiful additions all! Awaiting some coins from Stacks ANA auctions. Will post some pics once I get the coins.

Joe and the hurricane those are some super pickups.

 

Mercury dime guy, that's a heck of a way to announce your entry to the boards! Welcome to your new home.

Thank you sir. I think at MS63, the $2.5 D is undergraded. Can't wait to see it in hand this week.

Picked another up at Scotsman's recent auction. '81 O MS64 DPL.

Re-posting this coin, because I did some re-arranging at photobucket and my earlier post was compromised. I reattached the image in my earlier post, but thought I would add it here as well.

Was able to win this @ Scotsmans.

Sorry about that. I was cleaning up my photobucket and creating albums trying to make it easier for me to find images...

LMAO. Nice one Kenny!
