Nice $10, Ankur. Have you seen it in hand yet? If so, why the PR60 grade? That is a grade that isn't used often....

Love the 91-S Dime El. Actually, I like all three. How close is the Merc to FB?

jom

Here's a couple of more. Anyone have any thoughts on the $2.5 Indian? I've heard some think this is AT....the purple color anyways. The $10 is perfectly NT...typical of the data actually.

I would love to own this. It's a shame you no longer have it, and that it isn't on your sales website.

I looked up my records and I owned the coin for a short period of time in the latter part of 2003. It's been gone a LONG time....and only had a couple of months to boot. Keep looking you'll run across one again....

Also...I love Bill's Pan Pac!

In response to coinman's post above here is a Saint I owned some years ago. Pretty weird.

jom

Keeping with 1964...and some color...

I'll bet that is a nice one in hand. No Cameo on that?

jom

Nice 1811 Jom! I saw that one on ebay. Tried to pick up the 1821 but was sniped.

 

Here is a newp from a local show:

The 21 was pretty nice if I'm remembering correctly....

Nice dime there...in fact GREAT dime.

jom

OUTSTANDING Oregon there robec!

jom

Nice Dansco toning on the 1960!

jom

Jom,

 

I was on the fence about that Dime myself.

I had my eyes on a Barber Half - and had to

make sure I had enough funds to pay for it - so,

my bids were few and far apart.

 

Nice coin... very nice really.

 

Good! I don't need the competition...especially from you!

AU55 PCGS with that green sticker thingy.

I need to get my own photo of this eventually. There is a lot of luster left that you can't see and the photo is a bit "bright" relative to the coin (ie washed out).

I certainly paid up for it at auction but I saw the coin in hand a couple of weeks ago and thought it was special (my opinion only). It fits in with my others pretty well also.

Nice Peace dollar...in fact GREAT Peace dollar...and I ain't a big fan of them.

jom

One more!

jom

Wow, someone's been busy Jom. That 1809 is incredible!

It's pretty nice...AND...wait for it...wait for it...it's an XXX edge too!

Although you can see the edge due to the holder is there a way to tell WITHOUT seeing the edge? Die markers etc?

Beautiful 1919-S SLQ Mike.

 

I agree, way better than MS63. Perfect candidate for a gold bean.

 

I am resubmitting it to NGC as soon as I receive it. I think it belongs in a 64 Holder, too.

It'll go to CAC once it's in it's new holder.

 

 

Why do you think so? The strike is great and the marks are minimal...but given luster doesn't always translate well to photos is that where you think they got it wrong before? Lehigh could be right about it being lackluster. Let's us know when you get it....

 

jom

 

The luster looks good enough for a 64 to me. Congratulations on the new purchases everyone.

I don't necessarily disagree but I'm curious to what El thinks when he sees it. Along these lines I've got a 19-P that NGC graded 62 that I find rather undergraded. So maybe NGC is just being difficult. Note: both of these coins seem to be in similar holders...

For a coin like that it seems relatively cheap. I don't really collect Morgan's so I'm not familiar with prices obviously but I'm betting that coin was priced a lot higher back in the day when prices were skyrocketing.

It would be kinda neat to find one with some toning though...

jom

Very nice Morgan....what does something like that run?

jom

I like the 1808 Bust and those Lincolns. From mint sets?

Nice

jom

I have changed my photo set up and my lights. Here is my newest type set coin reimaged.

What set up do you have now? What type of lights?

jom

The is my MOH coin I purchased from the mint several months ago, but just got around to scanning. There was some dust on the scanner bed which shows up as white specs on the image, but the coin is spotless. I am cosidering sending this one to NGC for grading... what do you folks think? Would it be worth it?

 

BTW - some nice coins out there folks...this is great!!!

 

What's your goal for having it graded? If you are going the keep the coin a long time who cares what grade it is? To me, grading fees are a waste of money in this case.

However, if you plan to sell it you have to see what the down side is to the grading if it doesn't come back in, say, PR70.

For me, I like the coins in their original packaging...that allows me to save my money for other things than grading fees.

That's a pretty nice design.....the obverse liberty is pretty cool.

jom

Love the 1899!

 

jom

 

Although I have a nicer [ grade wise ] 1899 in my

collection - I love the look of this AU 55 much more !

 

High-end AU: the grade that keeps on giving!
