    Nice coin, Curry. Looks familiar - where have I seen it ?

     

    edit: I thought I saw it here - and I did.

    Its on the previous page. all 12x12" of it.

     

     

    I picked up a couple of newps from a friend...

     

    PCGS PROOF 65 CAM & CAC

    The Nickel was too nice to pass up - and the price was right - I have a couple of Proofs and have wanted to expand my set.

     

    The Dime is an upgrade over a MS 63. Although a nice coin,

    the 65 looks like a lock 66 - no wonder CAC beaned it. I was

    surprised it didn't Gold Bean !!

    A new poster asked me how to add pictures directly from his computer.

    Its been awhile - and I forgot the different steps.

     

    Its easier to explain the process in person, VS in writing.

     

    For the sake of discussion:

     

    this is a direct post:

     

    I misread his question - this

    image was not added via an iPad.

    Thanks, Jason. I like them, but not as much as I'd like your's, I'm sure.

    On a sad note, a dealer who I have become friends with over the last

    three years since my retirement, David Weygant of Florida, passed

    away on August 4th.

     

    A thread ATS asked us to post a coin we had purchased from him.

    I bought this little gem from David in Philadelphia at the last ANA

    that was held there.

     

    I spotted this Dime in his case from 10 feet away. This is a screamer

    in direct lighting. The image [ albeit great ] doesn't do this coin justice:

    Continuing on with my Grandfathers V Nickel Collection -

    again, a majority are pocket change finds from the 1930-1940's.

     

     

    1886 - PCGS 58.

    I found this coin in a small coin shop in Naples, Florida

    ...the owner is Ben King... a super guy and this coin was

    in an PCI Green Holder marked AU 53. I left the coin in the

    PCI Holder when I crossed it to PCGS:

    I especially like having this other AU 58 next to it:

    1887 - PCGS 58

     

    I actually have two AU 58's. One was from a show in 1990

    in Massachusetts:

    and this one was from a Heritage auction

    in September, 2010

    In 1994 when I moved to Florida, I found this raw coin in a Coin World ad:

     

    1888 - MS 63

    That's all for tonight.
