Continuing on with my Grandfathers V Nickel Collection -

again, a majority are pocket change finds from the 1930-1940's.

 

 

1886 - PCGS 58.

I found this coin in a small coin shop in Naples, Florida

...the owner is Ben King... a super guy and this coin was

in an PCI Green Holder marked AU 53. I left the coin in the

PCI Holder when I crossed it to PCGS:

I especially like having this other AU 58 next to it:

1887 - PCGS 58

 

I actually have two AU 58's. One was from a show in 1990

in Massachusetts:

and this one was from a Heritage auction

in September, 2010

In 1994 when I moved to Florida, I found this raw coin in a Coin World ad:

 

1888 - MS 63

That's all for tonight.

Great set of nickels,, Mike! Your granddad had an eye for nice lightly circulated coins. Fun to browse through those.

 

 

Kaz

Barber designed a few Commems as well. I don't have too many of them,

however here are the few I do have:

Thanks, Jason. I like them, but not as much as I'd like your's, I'm sure.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

On a sad note, a dealer who I have become friends with over the last

three years since my retirement, David Weygant of Florida, passed

away on August 4th.

 

A thread ATS asked us to post a coin we had purchased from him.

I bought this little gem from David in Philadelphia at the last ANA

that was held there.

 

I spotted this Dime in his case from 10 feet away. This is a screamer

in direct lighting. The image [ albeit great ] doesn't do this coin justice:

A new poster asked me how to add pictures directly from his computer.

Its been awhile - and I forgot the different steps.

 

Its easier to explain the process in person, VS in writing.

 

For the sake of discussion:

 

this is a direct post:

 

I misread his question - this

image was not added via an iPad.

Nice coin, Curry. Looks familiar - where have I seen it ?

 

edit: I thought I saw it here - and I did.

Its on the previous page. all 12x12" of it.

 

 

I picked up a couple of newps from a friend...

 

PCGS PROOF 65 CAM & CAC

 

1892NickelPCGSPR65CAMOBV_zps76ca6575.png

1913-PDimePCGS65CACOBV_zpsd1689148.png

1913-PDimePCGS65CACREV_zpsba033f5a.png

 

The Nickel was too nice to pass up - and the price was right - I have a couple of Proofs and have wanted to expand my set.

 

The Dime is an upgrade over a MS 63. Although a nice coin,

the 65 looks like a lock 66 - no wonder CAC beaned it. I was

surprised it didn't Gold Bean !!

Mike, that Columbian is absolutely special!

 

Coindude...Thanks.

 

I stumbled across it on David Kahn's site. He had two in the same grade -

looked like they were in the same roll together. I loved both - but only wanted

one example for my Barber Coinage Class at the ANA Summer Seminars.

Both coins from Knightly Numismatics and imaged by the owner, Michael Valente.

Spotted this / won the bid / - showed it to a friend and he

is buying it.

 

I bought it because of the color ... although I have a higher

graded example, I thought this was undergraded - plus its

so darn pretty !!
