And one more 🌞

Here’s a few more new purchases 🌞

Looks like these are all dimes 🧐 Here’s one of my wife’s dimes that’s a + * and FT 🌝

Here’s some Civil War Tokens I purchased recently. The first 2 are using coin images used with permission from eBay seller Steve Hayden where I inserted the pictures into my template. The PCGS one uses images from a Trueview and the others are from another seller (used with his permission) where I also inserted them into my templates.

Here’s a picture of one of the “acorn” varieties I cherry picked off of eBay. It’s covered in die polish lines. This was the auction picture. Also included is info on the variety from the new Cherry picker book.

I like die polishing lines when they are part of a cool variety. Like the 1953s Roosevelt Dime “acorn” variety that is in the new Cherrypickers Book where the die polishing and clash marks are what caused the variety. It’s called acorn variety because the clashing made one of the olives look like an acorn. The dies were so heavily polished they obliterated part of the oak branch and leaves. I’ve found 3 of them so far unattributed on eBay since I started looking for them a few weeks ago. But if not part of a cool variety, if I was choosing between 2 of the same coins in the same grade with similar looks other than the die polishing lines, I’d choose the one without them. But if the one with die polishing looked nicer than the one without, I’d pick the one with die polishing. So only a very slight preference for non-die polishing.
