Yeah,.....i realize that too and i want to save some for later,.....maybe in a more general thread. (i'm about to go to bed soon also).
..................but while these all aren't, of course, my "latest acquisions",.......for the most part have been aquired within the last 6 months or so. We're still "Newly-Weds"!
ok ok ok.....enough.....i can't go to bed jealous like this. this was SUPPOSED to be "latest acquisition" only Mr. Jeweler.

Thanks,...... and yes, Anaconda and Legend are some of my favorite coin dealers because of the level of coins they regularly aquire.
However, ........years ago Adrian Crane (at Anaconda) was much more accessable. Today most of my dealings have been thru Brandon Kelly, as Adrian had recently advised me most of the day to day coin activities have been turned over into his capable hands.
.............same at Legend. I deal almost exclusively with George there. (save for someone else answering the phone when i call and they transfer me to George)
I've only met Laura twice at the Baltimore show several years ago. I was out of work and needed to sell some coins. One she bought was one that came back home to her (she had purchased it raw out of the Eliasberg auction) and i wish i still had it.
It was a georgous NGC 1915 PF68 Barber Half Dollar with the Eliasberg pedigree. Today it would be a no question *Star coin. Simply the most beautiful Barber Half i've ever seen. Concentric albumn toned rings of color starting with deep gunmetal blue along the rims and ending up with fire orange & red within the centers made for an awe-inspiring visual display. Laura was planning on inbedding it in her own collection, though i've asked to keep me in mind should they ever decide to sell.
You have some truly significant coins, Joe, and it looks like you obtained some from Laura and Adrian. They offer some nice coins. By the way, your type set is beating mine by about 70,000 points.

Me Too! When i was 22 i was about to get married and have a few children 4 & 8 years later. There was no money back then for anything like a rare coin collection. Most of you know what i'm talking about. Nope, you need to get kids and college and other things done before you can spend serious dough on hobbies!
..............but nice coins, like a good woman,......
....are worth waiting for!
............of course i was separated back in 1992 after 15 years of marriage, divorced 10 years later. I always felt she was the right woman for me,.........but the feeling wasn't mutual it seems. That's life.
You have some beautiful coins there Joe. I only wish I had coins like that when I was 22.. (thumbs u -
This PCGS MS66 Red 2 Cent coin looks as fresh as the day it left the mint. I usually buy red brown copper in order to get the color i prefer, but this coin had such nice luster and originality i decided to go with it in my type set slot.
........just my
worth. _Obv.jpg' alt='2.gif.9fc66b13abe5d736a39bc1a668f42ae9.gif' alt='2c'>_Obv.jpg'>

Funny you mention that. A recent inventory assessment reveiled that i've spend about DOUBLE on coins than what i paid for my 1,600 SqFt. single family home just 2 years ago. The house i financed part of over 30 years,......
..........only a few of the coins were financed out 90 days,.......but most were purchased immediately as i don't like owing anyone. Same reason i pre-pay the mortgage, BTW.
These are just outstanding Joe!
Can I put 10% down and finance the rest in 30 year fixed rate. I'll have my attorney write up the paper work.John

And here's the older sister of the last coin,.......small eagle draped bust half dime in PCGS MS60. The strike and originality of this coin are amazing in hand, with most of the breast feathers present.
......it sure looks better than MS60 to me,.....and most others that have viewed it in person.

What started out as a hobby has become an obsession of sorts.........
..............for whenever a beautiful coin becomes available i'll sell some gold or silver bullion to aquire it. Bullion can be purchased at anytime, but i feel as though many of these coins, as some of yours might be considered also,......are works of art sealed in a time capsule.
Another early type coin....

This is a super eye appealing NGC PF65 3 Cent Silver...............i think you'll agree.
-
Yep,.....that buff is super,......and looks EXACTLY like the pics.
Here's the 1880 NGC PF67RB Indian i earlier posted the link for. It looks much better when imaged directly:
-
Don't forget the reverse......
.....fresh off the image hosting site!
-
Thanks,.....i'll go right over and set it up asap.
Thanks rrantique,.....i would have done it myself but i've yet to set up a picture hosting site yet.Hey Joe have you tried photobucket ? It's free and there are a few of us that use it. I like it. You upload your pics to it, them just copy and paste into your post.
-
Thanks rrantique,.....i would have done it myself but i've yet to set up a picture hosting site yet.
......here's my NGC 1936 Proof 66* Buffalo Nickel that looks exactly like the pics.......YUMMY!
-
Thanks,......but sharing is half the fun of owning such things.
..........doesn't it just drive you crazy when some of the top sets in the registry contain absolutely NO pictures! I know it does me.
It's bad enough in today's reality we have to lock them up,........put pictures don't cost much and are easier to get at than the coins themselves.
It seems for now the best pics of my coins have come from Anaconda's website when they listed them and i downloaded them, they just make the coins look GREAT!
Someday i'll get around to re-doing some of my other coins where the pics don't do the coin justice. I almost wet my pants when this PCGS 1829 MS65 Bust Dime came in the mail, but the pics don't come close to conveying what the coin looks like in hand. Super strike, luster, ....and COLOR abound on this coin,.......but need larger and clearer pics to show it properly.
Here is how it was pictured on ebay:
..................in hand this coin is an eye appeal national treasure. Someday i will present it better.
Beautiful CBH, Beautiful seated Dollar, and BTW, Beautiful IHC!! (thumbs u -
One of the advantages of building a type set is you only need ONE really cool coin per slot! I have been known to buy a few "dupes" just because i couldn't help myself, when the coin is just too pretty to pass on.
BTW, i just added another link to a knockout Proof 67 RB Indian Head Cent that is also in the same class,.......you might want to grab a look before you get too depressed! (kidding,......hang in there and one will come along)
Wow...why does everyone have a beautiful CBH but me?
If anyone has any for sale let me know!!!

After having just signed up today,.....as my 2nd post i would like to share some of my favorite coins. The pics came off my registry set,.....hope you enjoy!
The 1st in an 1829/1827 NGS MS65 Capped Bust 50C:
Here is another very beautiful Proof Seated Dollar with Cameo:
......and a final coin that get me drooling whenever i pull it out, one of eye candy's finest Indian Head Cents, in NGC PF67RB:
(thumbs u 
worth. 
Can I put 10% down and finance the rest in 30 year fixed rate. I'll have my attorney write up the paper work.

.................mine says she'd like to take each coin out of the slab
when it arrives, kiss it, ........and wear it around her neck as a piece
of jewelry! She likes the beautiful classic beauty of our older coins,............
..............which is why they're locked up out of her reach!
........goodnight all.
