Long Beach acquisitions....

[jom]

Not to take attention for Hoot's thread (well, yeah it is....) here are some garbage I got at Long Beach this past weekend:

 

Got these in the Heritage Auction:

 

 

 

These I got on the bourse:

 

This is a 26-D. Weak strike on the reverse but what the hec? It's in a NGC 63 STAR holder.

 

 

 

 

Not a bad show at all.....

Wow, I'd agree with you that you didn't have a bad show! You picked up some nice pieces.

Those all look very attractive. Just out of curiosity, what does the Buffalo from the Heritage auction grade?

Nice coins jom! That OT and 1919 buff are superlative!

That is a very, very pretty oregon, and a 1939 at that.

I would have showed it you on Saturday but you weren't there...I suspect you got there late after I had left.

 

The Buffalo from the auction is a 23-S and grades....no wait...let's ask everyone:

 

Today's quizzy: What does the 23-S Buffalo grade?

Nice coins, JOM. Be sure to bring that NGC Buff to the next LB show for reholdering.

These coins were easier to buy than they were to take pictures of. Man, I had a REAL difficult time yesterday. For some reason I had a hard time getting rid of the glare. Plus, I had to use that stupid black cloth to keep the NGC holder from keeping the picture too dark (closed iris). The pics came out too dark anyway....grrrrr... Therefore I had to lighten the pics in "post processing" which is something I do not like to do. I'm going to have to do these over again unfortunately.

I have no idea what you are talking about. But, then again, no one knows what I'm talking about either.

Hmmmmm - made perfect sense to me. I guess it's time to start worrying

 

Nice group of coins jom - I like 'em

[berylcoin-migration]

Apparently I'm the only one interested in the 23-S grade. Hmmm, I see quite a bit of remaining luster, but also significant areas of rub, great eye appeal; I'll guess AU 53 or 55 based on the image. Am I within 20?

Good job! AU50 by PCGS and I believe it is undergraded. I never did think PCGS was good at circ grades.

 

IMO, it's at least AU55 if not AU58. BUT...it is definately AU. Great collector coin, if you ask me.

My two favorites are the gold Indian, I realy love the color of the reverse, and the 1919 buffalo. Beautiful coins overall!

It was one of the nicer 10-S's I've seen actually, even when circulated. I had a chance to buy an real nice MS62 earlier last year but passed on it. I was a bit upset I didn't go for it. But I got this one so cheap (about 3.5 times less) I'm not complaining. It fits in with the rest of my set...at least with the better date issues it does. Now I have to find an 11-D and 20-S that look like this in AU55 (and not a cleaned piece).
