New images...

Thanks, Bobby.

Thought I would add an old [ and terrible ] image

of a coin I just put a deposit on - once I have the

coin in hand - I'll have it professionally imaged.

I've always wanted one of these Dimes:

The correct coin is 1902 or IHC... not an 1885 Eagle !!

So...

My only win at Heritage Internet auction:

I sold the above 1912-S to a friend at FUN -

and today, I upgraded my 1902 in 55 for this

MS 64: [ paid for by eBay Bucks !! ]

Just had my V Nickel raw set certified...

here's my duplicate 1912-S - PCGS Graded AU 55:

1898

Straight out of the Dansco album:

newer addition for the Dime collection [ 1892 - 1916 ]

- purchased already graded:

The 1898 Date Set Dimes:

Those are the first First Ladies Bronze Medalions I have seen.

Nice grouping Bobby. I assume you have the previous issues as well.

They'll make a nice collection when completed.

Walkerfan -

Ok - no takers huh ?

Here's a newp for my Grandmother's Mint Birthyear set:

The 1917-S REV Half is in a PCGS AU 58 holder.

I can see where you might have guessed AU 55,

as there is rub; most noticably on the Eagle's lead leg.

The image doesn't show the luster correctly - and there

is minimal rub, really. There's only a minor luster break.

Nowhere near AU 50 - there is way too much luster and

detail to be considered an AU 50. The "hand and thumb"

detail is too great to be on an AU 50; usually, at that grade

level, the "hand and thumb" detail has worn off [ if there was

any to begin with.]

Just picked this 1917-S REV Walker for my Dad's birthyear set:

HardTimes - who imaged your 1876 Half ?

Nice looking coin !!

Merry Christmas everyone !!

Here's a Quarter from my 1889 Mint set:

Buffalo Head and Tejas - I really like both of those halves.

I love the 1839's lightly worn patina - and I have always wanted

the "right" looking 1812 CBH. Nice coins, guys !! Very nice !!!

Chris - I've been good down here in the land of Blue Hair -

thanks for asking.

I've just picked up a couple of Proof coins for my cousin's

wife's birthday present... nothing special - just nice coins:

Boiler - you certainly have a good eye -

nicely toned coin - very acceptable grade -

and an old Doily Holder to boot. Nice Pick Up.

Just picked this one up off the Bay - its in a PCGS 64 Non FH Holder.

I thought it was a decent strike as most of the head detail is still there.

1930-S:

Sellers images - but he stated that the coin is from a Bowers & Merena

auction - and that he "borrowed" the images. I'm never very impressed

with B&M's images - usually, the coin is much nicer in hand.

Once my newest SLQ set is approximately 50% complete, I'll send it to

a professional photographer.

Nice Jeff's !!

Here's a Lincoln for my Dad's Birthyear collection...

Nice IHC's Dean.

Here's another 1892...with a couple of tag alongs.

This image has only been seen by Dr. Shireman and myself.

I purchased his duplicate 1892-O Micro O in an ANACS 55

holder. This coin came out of the James Bennett Pryor collection.

I ended up selling the ANACS micro O for another - a PCGS 55

Micro O - and in turn sold that for Dr. Shireman's duplicate PCGS 63.

Sorry for the small images...

I bought this coin over 20 years ago -

and finally broke down and had it certified.

I really don't collect Jeff's - but have always

appreciated the Keys to any series.

Reworked older image:

Richard -

Nice montage of coins - I really like

the 1891-S Quarter - nicest one I have

seen. Been looking for one for my MS date

set - my Grandmother's birthyear set.
