Absolutely beautiful Buffalos - they really scream !!

Added a nice - IMHO - addition to the Dime set:

My newest pickup....

 

 

Thoughts/opinions on having NCS look at these carbon flecks?

Gpnyc - What a great coin -

Very Nice Paul!!

The silver content does tone up nicely doesn't it !!

Here's a mighty pretty Nickel that I just picked up.

Liberty Head Nickels are also Barbers - and this

one is on its way to me now...

One sweet Nickel !!

Here's the image of the 1902-O Dime in ANACS 55 that I picked up some time ago - and had trouble posting the image.

Its now fixed -

Newest addition to the certified Dime collection...

New addition to the Dime collection ...

Fantastic Pattern Trade Dollar, Boiler.

Its a Barber to boot ! [ William Barber, that is ]

1873 - or - Barber - or - Trade Dollar is the "Mark"

Nice coins, everyone.

Found this and couldn't pass it up...

I hear ya, I've been looking for an upgrade for the 1915-P myself

and all I can find are VG-VF's - and I'd like an AU 58 !

Nice pick up - congrats !

Here's a NEWP for the Dime set:

Boiler - I had heard about that coin but never had the opportunity of seeing it

before. Very special coin - it'd be the highlight of my IHC's !!

To push this thread forward - the date is 1877 - or - Trade Dollars :

Thanks Boshog40 - I'm looking forward to getting it this week.

 

Here's a duplicate for the Dime collection - as the better one I have is in the Mint Set.

Here is the better one that is in the Mint Set:

Boiler - where did you find that 1877 with the silver fragment ? Talk about a rare error !!

NEWP for the Dime collection:

EX: Mark Miller - Heritage Long Beach Sale - 5/28/09

Not bad looking for a 110 yr. old coin, huh ?

Rob,

Very pretty 11-S - and BTW, Bill contacted me,

and he's thrilled !!

Here's my NEWP from Mark Miller's collection

which was sold last night at Heritage's LB Sale:

.

Arrived last week:

Rob,

Super 92 Dime !!

RS8199 - Excellent 1902 Dime - keep them coming !!

RS8199 - beautiful 11-S Dime

... and Old Pueblo...nice V Nickel too !!

Here's a nice original 1897-S Dime that's coming

back from PCGS - sorry for the tiny image - in a 55 holder:

Yes - PCGS AU58.

 

Is it silly to have a "favorite grade"? 'Cause I think AU58 is mine. Tons of eye appeal, fraction of the MS cost.

 

 

A very common-sense approach, in my opinion.

I couldn't agree more - buying a PCGS 58 of the key date

is the way to go. All the detail at a fraction of the cost of

a Mint State coin. Great job !
