All these coins are great!

Thanks, guys.

And yay for 2000 posts!

Nice coins, James.

Here is my newest.

I believe the seller it came from posts on the PCGS forums occasionally.

-Amanda

This might seem funny, but that 1943 WLH is killer!

I agree! Awesome!

-Amanda

My Daddy spoiled me this weekend.

I love the no-drapery design! This is for my Type Collection. It is a Choice VF.

This is for no particular collection. I just liked the way it looked. It is an AU with some mint red left in protected areas. Early Lincolns just look better.

-Amanda

Woah!

All these recent coins are so stellar!

Makes my evening.

Thanks, guys.

That's a neat Indian, Winston. I see it has a PhotoSeal sticker on it, too!

I like the reverse, particularly.

This is for the clad dime space in my Type Collection. I wanted something interesting.

This is a wierd looking Kennedy from a 79 Mint set. My dad was going to spend it, but I saved it because it looks neat.

I posted the seller's image of this coin a waaaay long time ago. I still like it.

I wasn't allowed to have it until Christmas, and now I have finally photographed it for myself.

It is not ENTIRELY problem free (there is a patch of lines by Miss Liberty's head) but it looks wonderful in my Dansco Type Album.

Wow, I haven't checked out this thread in a while.

All of these new coins are so wonderful!

A great way to end my day.

Mike, that's a nice 21 Morgan!

-Amanda

That's a lovely Merc.

Bruce, that safe is as tall as me!

That's a terrific lens, Mike!

 

Amanda, if that is a Capital Plastics holder, which it looks like it is, then it is of a style that they have not made for perhaps two decades and it has value aside from the coins it contains. By the way, I love the look of that set.

Yes, it is an old Capital holder. My dad has had the holder since he collected in the 70s I think. When I became interested in Numismatics last October, he started building the set for me. And it's done now! (But he was too excited to wait for Monday. )

Thanks!

-Amanda

That looks like a nice lens, Mike!

This was an early Christmas Present. Please excuse the bad picture.

-Amanda

That is a cool dime!

I think that's the only variety for the year, the 1811/09. Coinfacts says it is JR-1.

I really like the reverse.

Thanks for sharing!

-Amanda

I like that Frankiln, Larry.

What makes it a Type 2?

My dad bought me this dime for my type collection. I am not sure about how original it is, though. It's got an odd sort of sheen to it, that doesn't translate well in the images, unfortunately.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

My 1827 has stars extending towards the rim like that, and someone told me it was because it was a late die state. Someone could have been pulling my leg, though.

Here is a new buffalo for my quirky herd.

He's got reverse clash marks in the usual place near EPU from the Indian's neck, but curiously there are no matching marks under the Indian's chin. This leads me to believe that the obverse die was either effaced or changed while the reverse die was left alone.

Also, something about the rims nags at the back of my mind, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

The strike for this issue is often INCREDIBLY weak, owing to several factors like worn dies and an increased distance between dies during striking.

Also, the first two digits in the date are often weak, as is seen on this example.

With a mintage of 4.8 million, it's a nice date, hardly a key though.

I grade this one a strong G-6.

-Amanda

VERY nice Tom!

-Amanda

That's a nice looking DDO!

This used to be my grandmother's. My dad just gave it to me today.

The medal commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the Cape Cod Nat'l Sea Shore. It is proof-like, too.

I like that large cent!

-Amanda

-Amanda

Amanda, that is one of the sweetest, problem free 1853 halves that I've seen. I like it a lot!

Thanks!

I thought so, too.

-Amanda

Neat Peace dollar!

Just won this.

Makes me go like this:

Lovely coins Victor and Lee.

Thanks Zoins! In the end, collecting is about whether or not I like the coin(s), and not about if others approve. True, I asked your opinions, but only to strike up small conversation (which seems to have turned into a hatred conversation). I like it just fine, and can't wait to get it.

Chad, no one hates you. They are just saying (and I agree) that the coin has issues. You know these issues and you like it anyway. That's great! It's differences that make the world go round.

But there is a difference between low grade and low grade problem-free. I also am working on a low-grade type set, mainly because of my limited budget. But problem coins are out there! (I know because I have bought a few. ) My aim is to replace these with problem free examples. (I only have a couple baddies that I know of...)

I can PROMISE you that there are low-grade eye appealing coins out there to be had! Patience, my friend.

PS- Ten bucks isn't bad, I guess and if it makes you smile, then it's worth it.
