Steve, nice coins from TT. (thumbs u

 

Jt, congrats on the ASE roll and the Kennedys. (thumbs u

 

Jon, fun '64 Kennedy. (thumbs u

 

Rey, nice looking Cleveland. (thumbs u

 

Murty, given that that is a common date Peace dollar, I probably would have spent $5 - 10 more dollars and gotten one that is a lot less chopped up. In any case, as long as you're happy with it, that's great. (thumbs u

Got these in the mail today, nothing special, but I always like piles of circ silver!

Well, I always thought you had the gold bug but silver's nice too. I guess you probably got it for around melt. Nothing wrong with Circ silver but it always seems a little tricky these days to get a lot after shipping that isn't at a nasty premium.

 

Congrats on the old silver. (thumbs u

Looks like a nice lot of silver, lots of Barber material there.

It's all barber stuff, as for the premium, probably, but I like em anyhow. And as for the gold bug, just wait till my last Heritage buy arrives, if it ever gets here!

Nice Quarter Eagle.

 

There are so many with very low mintages

and they are quite scarce ... wonder why

they have not skyrocketed in price ?

It's a question of attrition. Many pieces with low mintages (some absurdly low) happened to be minted when gold currency was scarce, so they were immediately hoarded and survived for decades. On the other hand, some high mintage issues (again, some amazingly high) were produced in an era when bullion value was a little higher than face, so they were immediately shipped off overseas, or were simply melted immediately, and thus they are very scarce today.

 

This is a highly simplified explanation, but you get the gist.

 

Nice coins everyone!

Well, I was holding back on posting these until I could be invoiced and get the order paid. My Step-father and I went a little nuts on Heritage through eBay July 3rd.

Nice ones all. Here are two of my newest. The first is an 1947 Centennial Commemorative for Thomas Alva Edison 1847-1947. The second is a 1997 Cuba Proof Commemorative of 150 years of Railway for the Spanischebrotli Railway 10 Pesos.

 

(Please excuse the looming image on the second obverse peering into the field of the coin - I should have gotten out of the way. Also, as I mentioned previously I am acquiring some of the limited pieces dealing with Edison since my father collected Antique Light Bulbs as well as coins. I recently discovered something that makes such a unique connection in regards to our collection - will reveal in a future post)

 

Simple yet interesting for different reasons

Is that the same coat of arms that used to appear on pre-communist Cuban coins?

 

PS-how did you get that through customs?

Nice coins all, I especially like the Jeffs because that is my area.

 

Here is a couple of new ones just for looking: An AU55, 1895-O Eagle and a XF, 1849, "Godless" Florin.
