robec1347 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Nice pickups Mike. I see Broadstruck is starting to influence your buying habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1976 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I bought this from fellow forum member Erwindoc. Being I was born on the 4th of July in 1976, this coin fits perfectly into my birthyear set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsshog40 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Nice Bicentenial. You don't see a whole lot of these anymore. My daughter in law had one and was dying to show it to me. She says "PapPaw, u have got to see this qtr I got in change. It is OLD!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1976 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 , my niece (8 year old) did the exact same thing the other day when she got one in change from the local candy store. Those little moments are priceless. Due to all the attention I drew when I was born in Grand Rapids Michigan, most of my family hoarded tons of rolls of the bicentennial coins. Because of that I have about 20 rolls (each) of the Ike's, Kennedy's and Washingtons that are just sitting in common Ziploc bags. I also have the 3 coin silver proof set and the 3 coin silver mint set sitting in my safe that were given to my mother by President Gerald R. Ford the following afternoon that I was born. He gave the same sets to all 6 babys that were born that day at that hospitol. Somewhere my parents have the picture of him handing them to my mother, I have asked her to look for it so that I could get a scan of it, but, since she has moved a few times since that day, she cant seem to find it yet.

Elbesaar Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Nice pickups Mike. I see Broadstruck is starting to influence your buying habits. Thanks ! Broadstruck is one of my favorite coin guys - and I guess hanging around him for the last few years has influenced me somewhat - but I have always liked errors. I picked up two newps at FUN - but I don't have images yet - I'll add the HA images when I have a few moments. Neat stuff really. I bid on and was TROUNCED BADLY on the Barber Dime Full REV Brockage in an AU 58 holder - I was high bidder until it was pumped up to 10K - I dropped out at half of that. If it were the OBV Full Brockage, I might have swung for it. That's what a Roth IRA is for. In the mean time - here are a few more newps I had imaged by Messydesk: I'll stop here - as the rest are mostly Morgans - and I promised Chris I'd let him know when I was about to post them.

FILTHYHOARD Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Beautiful pickups everyone. After only picking up that 1880cc GSA Morgan, I managed to pick up this 1879-o from Teletrade. I also finally got a chance to image the 1892 Morgan that I won at the last Heritage auction here in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
