Nice gold guy's!!

LeeG

I like your walker,too. Whitch image is more accurate in person? I personally like the first image better.

This is hard for me to put into words because I'm no expert on the nuances of the different lighting spectrums but both are correct. The Halogen brings out the colors of the coin better than the OTT-LITE's. The Halogen pic is a little darker than the acutal coin because it's such a bright light that it has alot of glare bouncing off the coin. I couldn't get the lamps of OTT-LITE's close enough to the coin to show the lustre and color better because of the glare it would add to the slab. Hopefully mgoodm3 or MikeInFl might be able to explain this better than I can? Or tell me I'm full of it.

Some super sweet additions posted by all! Congrat's!!!!! This one arrived yesterday for my Type Set. Pic taken with one 75W Halogen Lamp. The slab picture is with two 13W OTT-LITES.

Very nice Barber. This group just arrived. All PR69 DCAM except the Kennedy is a PR64, ouch. Looks like a bad dip. Probably NCS then NGC?

Super nice run of dimes! Heres my lowly AU55:

"Super" nice piece Bill!!! Congrat's. This one arrived today. Quite a few problems at the SF Mint when this one came through. Alloy Problems, "BIE", extra metal on the wheat stalks, and some extra lettering. Did I miss anything?

The Fatman has some super early commem's!!!!! I'd be proud to have any of them in my collection!!!! This one arrived today and is the newest addition to my Dansco 7070:

All very nice additions folks!!! Can't wait to have see this one "in hand". Looks like it has very nice original skin still remaining. I'm a little concerned with the reverse, but think it will be ok?

Super coins guy's. Won these two on TT last Sunday. They arrived today:

Very nice Conneticut Tom. Like the Seated Half and Columbian too Winston. Ok to post Darkside arrivals here? This one just arrived:

There are some very cool coins on this page. Leeg, you have significant red remaining on that large cent, which image do you think is closer to its actual color? I would guess that the larger image (top) is most accurate. RGT, you're not kidding that your trime has extensive die erosion. Wow! Is your 1864 two-center a rotated die?

Thanks for the compliments folks. Another super coin from coinguy1. Tom the larger pic's are spot on as far as the color goes.

Super trime RGT

Boiler another "Wow" coin! Stanley that looks like a nice, original, Frankie. This one arrived today:

I bought this one from "Hoot" on eBay. It arrived today:

That's a "Sweet" Large Cent Mike! These two arrived via Heritage. Took forever to ship these. Had to call Heritage to see what was up. They had put a "Do Not Ship" flag on my account, without my knowledge, to try and combine lot's to save on shipping cost's. Told CS to remove the flag. I like the thought process by Heritage but, let me know first, before arbitrarily putting a "Don't Ship" flag on my account. Communication is key! Other folks may want to call Heritage and inquire about this.

Thanks guy's for the compliments on the Lincolns! Mike that's a nice piece and super pic!!

Just won this on Teletrade last night.

 

Very nice!! I was bidding on that one for my 7070. Got too rich for me, congrats!

These arrived today from TT:

Stanley I'll see your 1920 Pilgrim and raise you a 21:

Nice Peace$

Picked these up off TT last night:

That's my Viking coin collection

Super Nice! Congrat's

Some amazing coins all throughout this thread!

Mike, Amanda, and Mark: Very nice additions!!!

Just won this 1808 Bustie from Dennis Tarrant off his eBay website, tarrant-numismatica. He is Forum Member numismatica. I purchased an 1810 Bustie from Dennis a couple years ago, loved it, and sold to a forum member. I think this one will be even nicer than the 1810. Looks to have original surfaces, a little color, and some degree of rarity . Here is Dennis' description of the coin:

This 1808 Capped Bust Half Dollar is O-109a, an R.3 variety. This is a tough variety to grade. Based on details alone, this is a solid VF. If grading by surfaces, this coin would grade EF or better as ample luster is observed in the protected areas (especially on the reverse). The images don't quite capture the beauty of this coin. It is more of a natural, dark tone with subtle underlying hints of blue/green toning on the obverse. The reverse is mostly a natural toned silver color with just a blush of blue toning. I have included a few images taken under different conditions. In hand, the coin looks most like the bottom image of the obverse. O-109a is a late die state for the die marriage and is referred to as a shattered die (see obverse breaks through date/hair/bust). Due to the die state, there's not much rim left on this variety.....as struck.

According to Heritage Archives This variety is confirmed by the joining of the two lower arrowheads, and the crack connecting the tops of the letters ED STATES OF AMER is indicative of the die state.

Here are Dennis' pics of the coin and I'll add mine after the coin arrives:

Appreciate the Birthday wishes guy's!!! Mike that's a "Wow" example, congrat's!!! This lincoln arrived Thursday I believe:

Super coin Bruce for nothing money. Can't even get a burger for that price. Here are my pics of the piece I got for my birthday:

The 16th was my 49th Birthday and I treated myself to this coin:

PCGS MS64 RB

May go in my DANSCO 7070 at some date in the future. Purchased from stephunter across the street, his pic.
