Coin images from the Silver Dollar Show (CAUTION: DIALUPPERS)

[James_OldeTowne]

Here's a sampling of what I bought at the Silver Dollar show. Mind you, it's just part of what I bought - I probably bought another twenty coins besides these!

 

A Classic Head that actually has remaining mint-luster flow lines - amazing! Great color, though a bit uneven in spots.

 

 

The reverse of this better-variety 1857 "large-date" still has a lot of cartwheel mint luster, but the obverse has a ding in front of Liberty's chin. I call it EF-45.

 

 

I love Capped Bust dimes in real-collector circulated grades. Here are some nice ones:

 

 

Check out this scarce 1824/2!

 

 

 

Wonderful originality here:

 

 

Here's a "large O" - I also bought a "small O" in lower grade:

 

 

Carson City is always good:

 

 

A stunning 1795 Flowing Hair half! 100% totally, unquestionably original, with a completely intact patina, and flawless surfaces, except for a tiny ding in front of Liberty's nose. Totally awesome coin that I grade VF-20/VG-10. I paid over $2000 for the pleasure of ownership.

 

 

A couple of gorgeous draped-busts. Who can resist coins like these?

 

 

Here are some more Caps. Every coin is a choice, unmolested original, and I got them from a collector who has been dispersing his Redbook date set:

 

 

I picked this out of a dealer's junk box. It was cut out of an original proof set, though still sealed in it's individual compartment. Close to DCAM!

 

 

These are some cheapies that I accidentally picked up from the auction:

 

 

"Prestige" coins from the Binion hoard:

James,

Quite a batch of superb coins worthy of recognition! Is that why you posted them twice?

Were those Bust dimes for a wantlist? Some one is definately going to have a nice set.

oops!

 

((( Were those Bust dimes for a wantlist? Some one is definately going to have a nice set. )))

 

Nope, I set out with the goal of increasing the number of bust dimes I own - actually bust coins in general. Actually, I would have shown you more, but my table partner asked me to flip him a handful, which I did.

 

Thanks for the kind words!

Wow! Very little porousity on the 1812 large cent. That's hard to find. Very, very nice selection!
