buying spree

Sorry, but I see a bunch of mediocre looking coins and notes.

[Walkerfan]

What is the grade on that Trade Dollar?

[JIM F.]

That's what buying sprees are all about!

are they all raw?

Sorry, but I see a bunch of mediocre looking coins and notes.

 

I don't think they are "mediocre." They are very nice, mid-grade coins.

But I forgot that you and I can't even agree on the sky being blue.

 

Nice pick-up Jim!

The Trade Dollar looks like it was in a knife fight, and lost.

 

jimbucks is apparently a collector with sufficient means, but seems to have an accumulation/quantity mentality as opposed to a collection/quality mentality.

 

But at the end of the day, if he's happy, then we should be happy for him.

 

CoinPulsive, I think we can agree on something someday.

Jim Bucks, I too like your pickups, especially the honest Indians plus Trade Dollar and SLQ. Yes, the notes might not be pristene, but they are better than what I have . Maybe you should put the Trade Dollar in for Guess The Grade. Thanks for sharing.

[RockMyAmadeus]

It's all quite nice, Jim, especially the star $10, which is quite rare. Very nice.

He should post it in one of those.

 

I am with you on the paper money quality thing..But paper obviously isn't going to "survive circulation" as well as 90% silver coinage or clad coinage.

Ha, I gave up on collecting paper money the day I sold the 100 silver certificates I got from my Grandfather. 40 of them were $1.00 bills that I got, you guessed it $2.00 for.

Nice pickups there Jim. I even like the Trade Dollar. A coin I do hope to get one day!!!

[johnny9434]

looks like ya did pretty good

[JIM F.]

What is the grade on that Trade Dollar?

 

It is ANACS AU-55 details Cleaned. I graded it $270. Decent for a type set. I will probably get it out of the holder and set it aside to see if it retones over the next few years.

 

I did not buy it for my collection -- I accumulate items that I think are a good value at the time. I think Trade dollars are such items.

 

Thanks for looking.

I actually like the notes. I'm not big on notes that look similar to our present notes but the $10 is a STAR note. I like the $5 better though.

 

Those early notes are just way too expensive for me and I don't know the first thing about grading so those are about in a grade that I'd consider...if I ever got the nerve.

 

Nice pick ups.

Here's the info on the Trade dollar

 

And the SLQ

 

The paper money is raw. I like buying up the 1929 National star notes. They are pretty rare and undervalued in my opinion. The Chief note is always a good find for the right price.....and the price was right.

 

Thanks for looking.

I would sure like to see some better pics of the slq.

Jim--I LIKE the trade dollar----I really do. It is well-defined and an interesting piece. I figured it was in a details slab, though---It's just too bad about the cleaning scratches.

 

I like the SLQ, too. The fact that is in an old fattie MS 66 is even better. I, honestly, liked it even before I knew that but that just makes it better. Your image of the SLQ was rather small but I could still tell that it was a decent coin. Way to go!!!

[JIM F.]

Don't have any other pics of the 1923 SLQ as it is in transit.

BUT.....Just picked up ANOTHER 1923 SLQ also in MS-66.

 

Here is this one.

 

[RockMyAmadeus]

Smooshy!

 

Those bad boys just did not strike up well, did they?

[yonico]

$10 and SLQ are very nice

nice star note with a low serial too

[newprepper]

I like that 5 dollar bill, would like to see a closer photo with reverse

[picklepuss-migration]

nice notes!
