Two more old halves...a 1904 VF35 Barber and a 1917 MS62 Walker ( weak on strike for the date but nice eye appeal and luster)

 

 

Whee! This coin is my most valuable to date, double the value of my next item down, an MS65 1908 no motto Saint. This is a 1911-D quarter eagle, NGC-graded AU55. It cost me a lot of up-trading, gutting my best Morgans and my other Saint, an MS64 common date. But, it was worth it. I'm going to go stare at it now...

I had this coin in my top 3 " To Buy" if I ever had $20K to spend ( it was an old poll asking what 3 coins you'd buy if you had $20K and had to be spent on coins)..I also had an 1877 3c nickel and the nicest Flowing Hair Half I could find with the money that was left after the other 2 coins were bought...so to say I'm a bit envious is an understatement--by the way, a VERY strong D also..congrats

Wow..I get a thrill just looking at early dollars like that...nice buy rube, $22 each--including 3 ASE's which are selling at over $30 is a bargain..

Recent addition to my half dollar collection..an easier date so I wanted a unique/identifiable look..

BTW, does anyone know what to multiply the face value of 40% silver to get the approximate melt value? Thank you!

The ASW for a 40% IKE is .3161..simply multiply .3161 x spot price = silver value ( of course mixed metal coin silver should sell for less than .999 because of the more complex process of extracting the silver from the other metals)

great fugio and nickels..ty for showing them..

Two new halves for my collection..an 1857 and an 1878 XF45 and XF40..the colors in hand are fantastic but look just brown in the pics..

Gorgeous Walker MJ

upgraded my 1934..the reverse was what really sold me..

fantastic coins..I really love the Large cent and that 1934-D buff..and that SLQ 29-S does have great character..

I wish I had nephews like you Jeff..

I picked this one up for my mid-date set..the aqua undertones are attractive, yet I'm hoping the underlying luster is a bit more evident when I get it in hand...I'll post my own images when it arrives..... 1938-D PCGS

I know that I'm late in posting but...WOW...the subtle colors, the fantastic flowlines...the die crack and strike details...this LC has character and eye appeal like crazy...almost makes me want to start my interests in a new direction...

New from our local Fresno show.

 

In response to that attractive 1799/8 ANACS...I believe it will cross..I've had VERY good luck with old, small green ANACS slabs.. ( and also their older pale blue slabs that had the ANA logo)..you may even dare to hope for a point or two more...F12 anyone?

wow shane..that Morgan is so dazzling with color it almost hurt my eyes...and great Illinois commem Fatman--a special coin indeed...and great mirrors Bobby on that Jeff..looks like it has a nice contrast too even if no cameo designation.

Hi Sam..thanks e1. I've been away from the forums for a long time mainly due to getting logged out and resetting my password on an old Comcast paying email was a pain. The registry forums won't allow my yahoo email account ( although I've been an NGC and Collectors Society paid membger for ages..it's good to see so many of you are still here..Hi Bob, thanks, glad you enjoyed the photos.........

two recent additions to my Walker Collection arrived today..believe it or not they actually are even much nicer in hand.. 1937 MS66+ and 1943-S MS66

wow, I've always wanted a single Texas commem because I really like the design..that coin would have made me very happy..beautiful !!

very nice dime MJ..and I like that whole set, not just the quarter..let's see some of the others !!

Also, my newest Walker..

thanks e1..makes me feel much better about spending my Christmas shopping money on them

I blew about 2 months of coin budget on these 2 NGC star coins..do you think the eye appeal is enough that they really deserved the stars? Also this is my first Walker with a star designation

nice coins Jeff...if you intend to expand your railway theme there are some nice coins in the Canadian $20 transportation series...I have bought all of the ship ones of course..

PS: I believe they ran from 2000-2003, you can find a list in the Registry since they are part of a competetive registry category; Canada $20 Transportation Series-- there are 16 coins total, one each year with a nautical, railway, and aviation theme..

great Rosie..I would've jumped on it too had I had the chance..and nice Mercury..I love mercs with color..

great pick ups e1..very nice Morgan Pueblo...here's one I sniped the other night for $21..MS65 NGC

here you go...very nice coin
