Got a few images today....

Continuing the set progression...

here's the 1893-P in PCGS 45

...and the 1892-S from the newer set...

This 1892-O is going in the Dansco...

Lets see if this Photobucket link works...

Doesn't look like it does work.

Sorry...

Lets see if my 1892-S opens up here ...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like I'll have to by-pass Photobucket...

Here's the 1892-O in my 2nd set ... PCGS 50

I downloaded that image from another forum member - and sent it

to a friend who's a Yankee fan [ he's from NJ & I'm originally from Boston ].

We're meeting at the ANA in Boston this Summer and he said he was going to

wear Yankee T Shirts the whole time he was in Boston...I told him that'd be a big

mistake. Then I told him he'd be viewed like that little guy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just discovered that Photobucket is the one with the issues ... seems as though

alot of people are having problems downloading images.

Later - and you don't need to try and resize anything - I'll handle it later - but -

thanks for trying.

About six weeks ago, I added another set of Halves. This collection was

from a vest pocket dealer from Baton Rouge and called the Red Stick Collection. I have changed its name to the Elbesaar Collection and have merged these coins with another set I was working on.

Here is the first coin from that newer set:

Sorry for the small images - I've been having issues with Photobucket.

Here's the 1892-P - VF 20...

gpnyc...

I have seen some nice proof sets in my day

but I have never had the opportunity to examine

one as nice as yours. [ 1866 ]

Fantastic - just fantastic.

Change out the date...

Traded in some duplicates and this

sweetheart is on its way to me now:

I've been looking for a nice upgrade for my 1895-S.

Here she is...

I picked up three Barbers - and posted them on the Barber Thread.

Some nice coins, if I do say so myself.

I have put together a few sets of IHC's in my day - and most recently

finished an AU 55-58 set.

One of the things that has always caught my attention is

finding the oddity IHC. I have a few interesting Double Struck

coins and today I won these two very interesting - and choice

IHC's:

1895 - NGC 58 - Tripple Struck:

1898 - NGC 40 - Tripple Struck - Rotated Collar:

I have a few more bids in on a couple more IHC's errors...

EDIT TO ADD:

I won the five other lots I was bidding on.

1891 PCGS 62 Broadstruck -

1893 NGC 58 Double Struck:

1895 PCGS 40 Double Struck and Off Center:

1897 NGC 40 Double Struck:

1898 PCGS 63 Off Center:

Coindude- Yes, I have to agree - it is very interesting. I'd love to examine it

for a few minutes in hand - but won't pay $8600++ to own it.

I picked up a few odds and ends at Long Beach - just a few Barbers:

Although I have another 1898-S in PCGS 64 - its in my Date Set.

Here is another for the Dime collection:

Its easier for me to copy and paste it.

Did anyone notice the 1912-D Half in a NGC holder

that is on Heritage's Long Beach sale ?

 

Its an error - and its struck on a 1902 Half;

you can see the underdate - and the Portriat

is doubled...and the reverse stars look like a

constellation. Just an amazing coin.

 

Obviously an intentional error - by some

mint worker [ I use to call these persons

"midnight maurauders "...]

 

Check it out - I have never seen its like before !!

Looks like it did not hit the Reserve. Its available at

Heritage for $8,625 on a BIN. Does not have a Best Offer

button to push.

1894....

My newp:

New addition to the 1894 Proof set...

I've been working on 1891 Mint and Proof Set(s).

Here's the newp for the Mint Set...

Got a few grades back from PCGS yesterday

and I'll be adding a few Halves to the 1st and 2nd sets.

I submitted some raw coins while I was at FUN

and I got these grades:

1898-P - XF 45 - for the Elbesaar 2nd Set

1902-P - AU 58 - for the 1st tier set

1903-S - XF 45 - 2nd set

1909-O - AU 58 - 2nd set

Once the coins are in hand - I'll have them imaged.

I have a large submission ready to go to the photographers

- mostly Halves - plus some newps from FUN.

In about a month, I'll start adding some images to this Thread.
