That's nice Martin. It's amazing how much detail you can see in a photo when it comes to coins soo small!! (thumbs u

Thanks for the explanation Bob. What I meant to say is how does one determine denomination by an image. Sorta tough if your not well versed with Bust coinage.

 

Pawn shop pickup, certainly nothing to write home about but for a couple bucks over melt and a broken R as a bonus, I like it.

Bid the sky Sunday night and came up with a strong textile toned Morgan, my first real nice one - bidding was fierce. Thanks Shane! Shane gets credit for the nice image...

Both arrived today, the craftsmanship is top shelf. Found a good source on Ebay, now I'm dealing with him direct. They're a hair larger than a 90% dollar, and a hair smaller than an ASE. Now I have to get the proof versions

Bought a few toned Morgan over the weekend. Just got them in the mail today. These are just a couple that I am thinking of submitting.

Nice coins there Deerefan. Unfortunately I don't think they are of high enough grade and probably not toned enough for a star. Not that they aren't attractive but they really expect something super special for a star as far as Morgans go.

You two nickels are gorgeous. I had no idea of these being minted with the original reverse design! First time I have seen them. Thanks for posting.

 

I finally found me a set of the FSNC-2002 Jefferson 1938 Nickels. I picked up the numbered pair #927 (of a mintage of 1,938 each of the MATTE finish and the PROOF finish).

 

They are beauties in hand! :D

I have a certain affinity for half dimes and yours is absolutely gorgeous! I'm green with envy. Congratulations on your new addition.

 

My first Half Dime!
