That replica looks pretty good!

StinkyCheese1, the way this post works is you follow the specific type of coin, e.g. in this case Franklins (half dollars per se don't hack it), or you follow the date. For example I can follow the above post with a Franklin or some coin dated 1960, let's say a Lincoln. In this case, I kind of feel like following a 1960 Franklin with a 1961.

Hey, for $36.50 that is a major score. If they look nice in hand keep 'em. If they don't, flip 'em for silver content at a local coin shop.

Nice coins Lee and Mike!!

Good coin club coins Jtryka!

Looking forward to seeing the 1914.

Why couldn't my parent have studied harder in school?

What, you mean you haven't taught your kids that they must support you in the style you'd like to become accustomed to?!

You got a SECOND one?! WOWSERS!!! Very nice Bob, the detail on those suckers is AMAZING, particularly the 1912.

Boy I sure wish I would have gobbled them up in the early nineties when I started with them. Who knew (with the exception of Rick Tomaska).

Actually the top notch slabbed ones back then were MUCH more expensive than they are now. As the population figures have climbed, the values have decreased... basic Economics 101. My '49-D is a case in point. Of course, I have yet to see a nicer one.

Congrats, are pictures coming soon?

Pictures will be coming, but not anytime soon. I can't image coins worth a dam#, so they will have to be shipped to somebody to image before they can be posted.

Christmas in April... as Austin Powers would say, "YEAH BABY!"

I just got a package in the mail with 8 PCGS slabbed, envelope toned Franklins. They are not killer color, but they are quite pretty... kind of an opalescent look to them. All of them are technically nice for the grade. Six are definite keepers, and the other 2, while nice, kind of depend on what I drop at Santa Clara. The 2 I'm not sure about are 1959 and 1960, both MS65. The 6 definite keepers are 1950 MS65FBL, 1953 MS65FBL, 1954 MS65FBL, 1961 MS65, 1962 MS65, 1963 MS65. The 1950 and the 1953 DEFINITELY rock.

As Howard Dean would say, "YEEEEHAAAAA!"

DD, that's a NICE '46 Walker!!!

Rrantique, fun coins!

Ron, that matched pair DEFINITELY deserves a "You Suck". Are they NH hoard coins?

TR, that's a real nice looking Monroe, which is almost a contradiction in terms. Good going!

Boy Victor, that is one of the nicest SLH's I've ever seen. Gorgeous toning, high grade, low mintage, this coin has it all.

I second Bob's emotion there Victor. That is definitely a YOWSAH of a coin!!!

It looks like it could go 66, it's hard to tell about the luster through the cellophane.

Nice '62 Chad!

 

It's Irvin's!

 

Just showing him how to embed the photos...

Dang, this post is moving fast.

Nice '62 Chad!

That is a nice 51 Bob!

 

Thanks, Bruce. Now believe it or not, but that one is a Ucam. Not a 68, but is an NGC UCam. Maybe for the year that is all the frost they need.

I'm glad that it's a UCAM, Bob!

Here's mine, it's a NGC PR66Cameo. I'm guessing the one bit of frost fade is what's stopping it, because the frost and mirrors are sure worthy of dcam'ing.

Man, this post is moving fast now... while I was posting to Bob and John 2 posts hit.

Nice looking 1960 saen78!!!

Sweet '51 Bob. I must say you do REALLY good images of Frankie proofs.

SA-WEEEEET, Bob!!! COOL looking die repolish lines on the obverse.

 

Those are actually holder polish lines.

My bad. Yeah, now that I look under the BERTY in Liberty it's fairly obvious. Ah well, it's good to be reminded to be meticulous.

John,

That's a Gorgeous '63-D!!!

SA-WEEEEET, Bob!!! COOL looking die repolish lines on the obverse.

First off, great copper coins everyone.

Second, thank goodness we've moved into the 20th century, although I thought the rules were it had to be copying the exact same type and or date, so going from Shield nickel to Buffalo nickel isn't kosher.

Third, here's a (1957-D) Lincoln and then a switch to Ben.

No pics (need to send 'em off to Bruce) but I just bought 2 raw Peace dollars; a 1921 in ~MS62 with a Really Nice strike and a DDO 1934-D in ~MS62 (it's probably mechanical doubling, but it looks cool).

EDITED TO ADD: Well, whaddya' know, I'm not a VAM kind of guy, but some people recommended that I look at vamworld.com. It turns out that the coin is a 1934-D VAM-3 medium D DDO.

A VERY nice grouping of coins and numismania!

Bruce, good going on the 1951 proof set!!! Watch it, you may find the cameo series addictive! BTW, what is an AUD pig?

123cents, that's a fun looking Feuchtwanger cent! What is the history with that coin?

Dooly, I don't know what was in the rest of the coins that you got, but the 2 that you showed are Canadian. If you look one will have N. S. (Nova Scotia) and the other will have B. C. (British Columbia). Fun pieces!

rbrown4, Very nice 1890-S and 1856 1/2 dime!

Some GORGEOUS coins here!!! Boiler78, as per norm, your coin leaves me drooling. Very nice half dime, '37-S/S, '24 Bustie, '85-CC, '67 Kennedy and '47-S Roosie.

Some really pretty coins here.

What is the 1796 graded? What is the 1842 dollar graded?

Nice double eagle Bob!

TR I REALLY like that arrows and rays! Cool design and nice wear.

Nice coins Gents!

Lee, I quite like the '03 and the '58. Is the Liberty nickel on a copper planchet? I just saw one (1906) at my local coin club meeting on monday that was struck on an Indian head cent planchet. That '58 looks quite well struck for a '58-P BTW. I can't tell from the image if the lower bell lines are full, but given the rest of the coin I'm assuming they are. '58-P's with fbl are a significantly tougher coin to find (even given mintage differences) than '58-D's.

There are some GLORIOUS Barbers here!!!

The scratches are on the slab.

Fun coins Dooly and Lee.
