Traded some Duplicate CC-DMPL's for this

 

 

 

The seller said that the coin had an older holder and a CAC - but he

reholdered it - and one of these days - when I am ready to sell it - I'll

resubmit it to CAC.

Found this at Great Collections and thought it looked interesting

...as I am putting together a MS Date Set of these little baeuties...

 

 

 

These are scans - and I'm sure the coin will image just fine - I know

there is luster under all that toning - can't fool me !!

 

 

[Coindude]

Mike, that cam proof toner is exquisite!

Just picked this beautifully toned common date Dime...

I have been going over my upgrade list and realized

that i have a long way to go to finish up the Half collection...

However, the new Dime set is progressing smoothly.

 

This is very disturbing as I thought the set was nearing completion.

I await the half dozen Halves that I just won at the last Teletrade

auction so I know if they are acceptable or do I need to replace

those as well... I think 4 of 6 are perfect... I am a bit concerned

about 2.

 

As they say:

I had the occasion to browse eBay this morning and spotted a great Quarter.

 

I don't collect them anymore - but knew a friend who'd love to upgrade his

example [ he has a 58 which I do not like ] and I loved this 58 immediately.

 

 

He laughingly shot back in a Text - no wonder you like it...

its your old coin...

 

Darn, if he wasn't right...

 

 

 

Guess if I liked it once, I'll like it again.

 

I have not posted too much recently - but I just saw that this Thread now has

 

100,235 Hits !!! WOW !

Don't get it ... why DOH ??

 

 

I'm more embarrassed that I didn't immediately recognize my old coin

 

 

I did recognize the photo as something Messydesk had done though !

Been a while since I posted. Here's a few I've picked up over the last couple months. Some of you have already seen them.

 

[Elbesaar]

Justin,

 

Very attractive Quarters & Halves - thanks for sharing !!

I picked up a couple of new Dimes.

 

 

 

WOW!!!! I LIKE!!! Those are some great pick-ups. The 1912 looks the sweetest to me.

[Elbesaar]

 

Aside from a circulated Dime PDOS Set in VF- AU,

I have also been slowly putting together a Date Set

of these little beauties.

 

Here's my most recent pickup. { Sorry for the large images }

I was just offered my old 1915-S back - I had this coin for 15 years

in a Dansco album - and sold off the non-58's four years ago.

 

Now, my third collection consists of attractive coins regardless of grade:

Some great looking dimes, Mike!

Exactly...who cares about the grade. If the coin is nice that is all that matters.

 

I'm still kicking myself for not picking up one or two of those AU58 dimes you had for sale last year. Dumb....just dumb.

Jom,

 

 

There were a bunch of great Barbers in that Heritage sale last year.

As a matter of fact there was a large group of Barber collectors sitting

behind me - they did not know who I was at the time - and the bidding

was spasmotic - as no one wanted to bid against each other - the internet

and phone bids were the heavy bidders - and although one bidder sitting

behind me won my 1913-S Quarter [ PCGS 55 / ex: ICG 58 ] he was up

against serious competition. I still think he did very well, I expected it to

hit 12K.

 

A very close friend was given the opportunity to cherry pick my Dime

Collections - and he did a bang up job. I believe he bought 80% of my

newly graded raw set and 20% of my pre certified collection. I forced him

to buy two coins that I knew he should have - even though he initially didn't

think they were necessary. He still thanks me for making him buy my nicer

looking 1893/2 in PCGS 58 - and my 1905-O - Micro O in PCGS 58 Dimes.

 

As fate would have it, it is he that is now supplying me with coins he's replacing.

Many of my raw coins came back in XF45 to AU 55 holders - although the original

sellers sold them to me as AU 58's. PCGS was extremely harsh with their grades

on my raw collection. They wouldn't grade one coin - which I sent in twice - and

each time it came back in a body bag. I got fed up and sent it to our hosts and

here is the result... I still own this coin ... and its one of my all time favorites:

 

 

 

Here's the same coin when it was in the Dansco:

I have been looking for an upgrade for my Grandfather's Birthyear Collection.

 

Finally located a decent Nickel to add to the rest of the set ...

Spotted this Dime and knew it belonged in my Date Set

as its a perfect match in color and degree of toning with

the balance of the Date Set:
