ooo oooo me....... take your pick (kind of like a joker)

Nice Coin Tom !

I don't know these at all and couldn't quite figure out exactly which one it was by looking in the Redbook. It is very cool though.

I haven't been here in a while, great looking coins all !!!

Here's the newest piece for my toned commem set. Seller's pics. Can't wait to get it in hand.

Great Coins All

I enjoy getting the chance to see what you've all received.

The standards for clad Washington quarters are different than those for the silver issues, and your 1972-D has the feel of a coin that was obtained from a US Mint Set. These quite often grade MS66, but may not look as nice as a silver MS65 Washington.

I don't remember where I got the clad quarter from but I'm almost positive I would have never cut one out of a mint set to stick in my album. Most were just ones found in circulation or fresh from the bank.

It took awhile this morning but I found my '46-D quarter and took a couple of quick shots. The OBV turned out a little darker than it is but you can get a good idea of what its like. The REV is right on as far as color. I still don't think its as nice as the others posted:

I also found a Buffalo Nickel that I'd forgot about stored with the '46-D quarter. These NGC slabs don't fit in my PCGS boxes and I'd stuck them in another spot. I better look around more to see what else I might have.....

Your 55 Franklin is definitely a Star coin. That is very nice.

 

Rey

I agree

Great Copper Lee !

Here's one of my MS66's before it slabbed by PCGS. I had this one in an album that I put together as a kid in 1973 or '74.

and then after slabbing.

I also have a '46 D NGC MS66 but can't find a picture of it right off hand. I'll try to take one tomorrw and post it but I can tell you its not as nice as the '72 I posted.

Sorry, I don't know the series much although I do have 2 slabbed 66's (different dates, one NGC and one PCGS) and neither of mine appear as nice as those.

Can those be 67's ?

Man those are clean quarters. Nice

Thanks all.

FYI - The 1830 Half Dime is a relatively rare die marriage LM-9.1 with a R-4 rarity and came from the Mark Smith collection.

Tried new pics of the '53-O No Arrows Half Dime (either too light or too dark )

Here's an 1809 Half Cent that came today

Here's the '53-O Half that also came today

Here's a prettier 1 of the 10 CBHD's that came today as well.

All in All a Very Good Day !!!

Took a break from the classics to pick up some bullion. Got these last night off TT for less than the mint price for current release as I was able to use the $50 promotional discount for April.

Great coins all. Me gusta mucho !

Lee - Sweet tab-toning !

Nice coins ! Makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one who struggles taking pictures...

Here's some more pieces for my '53 circ set; courtesy Brian Greer

(note: all pics are as taken and only cropped)

Then here's a "real tough" coin (also from Brian Greer) that I just can't get a good shot of the obv. on (yet). I don't know why I can't take a good picture of it I'm scared to take it out of the 2x2 and try. Also, my first attempt at taking a picture through my 5x loupe for a close up of the date.

Here, I tried to take a shot that showed the color of the "no arrow" "O" but its way out of focus

Very nice coin Victor, congrats

I agree and give it a solid

Hey your cent is a lot better looking than the one I had. I bought the '62 proof set in a capital acrylic holder off ebay. It was one of a group of 3 that had such bad auction pictures I didn't even know they were toned, and only paid 21 bucks total for all three

Ps. The other two sets were not toned.

I've had these a while but just got around to sending them in... I didn't send in the Cent out of the set as it was fuglier...

robec1347 - Great Looking Cents and Pics

Leeg- Another great looking cent and the Pilgrim looks like a good shot at a 5

Mikeking - 1791 !!! If only it could talk what stories it might tell

Jtryka - A roll of eagles a day (or even a month) will make your retirement a lot less stressfull when the time comes.

Numismatist - Very colorful Commen. What service did the grading?

Nice coins all

Holy Smokes that's a nice half !!!

I've got Mr. Monroe en route

Thanks to James, this piece is now part of my year set.

EDITED: Sorry, took more pictures and these turned out a little better. I can't seem to shoot copper very well.....

I've never posted to this thread - and this is not exactly a "recent" acquisition - but she is recently dressed in "new clothes" - picked her up in Baltimore on March 24th. A gorgeous lady

 

All I can say is WOW !!!!!

That '39 Half Dime is a beauty !!!

Wow, nice coins all.

Skyman, the 1842 Seated Dollar you asked about is graded PCGS AU50.
