A.Phillips Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Got 2 proof Franklins from Deerefan8420, thank you! The Morgan was from Northeast Coins, My 1895-S isn't a pretty coin, but that's all I can afford. I am glad to have it in my Morgan collection.

CoinOregon Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Just bought an MS66 1883 no cents VNickel from Ebay but the cert #3237872-021 isn't coming up? So strange because I swear it was coming up last week when I bought it. http://r.ebay.com/4EQUVm Edited March 16, 2014 by CoinOregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoinOregon Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hmm well NGC cert verification isn't working with tons of my coins right now so their database must be down or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbesaar Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) As I usually post my newps on the Barber Thread ( still plugging away at the collection ) and everyone is invited to stop anytime to see what I have been picking up. As of late, I have been concentrating on Quarters. Although I have recently added a Dime and a Half for my collection. This Quarter was originally in my 1st Set of Quarters - and it's been for sale since the guy bought it. My coins sold for what was considered (at that time) Moon Money. Although I would buy back everyone I sold at the price they sold for in 2011 !! I inquired about this coin a few times and the seller would hardly budge - all he kept saying was ..." Do you know whose set this coin is from ? All the coins were premium toned and sold for twice or three times sheet ! " I chuckled to myself and when he was thru defending his price ( which would have made a Hooker blush ) ... I calmly mentioned, I was the previous owner and it was my hard work and dedication that paid off. I marketed the collection throughly and most coins sold for double their competitors' price. I offered him a 20% profit of what he paid and he refused. I let it slide, thanked him for his time ( he seemed like a nice enough guy ) and would still see the coin on eBay every so often. Well, I saw the coin again last week and sent him an offer, still giving him a 20% profit and mentioned to him that if he refused the offer again, the chances were good that he'd still have the coin in inventory in another 2 and a Half Years. Just said some profit is better than no profit, or yet, a loss. The coin is a very minor variety of the most populous date in the entire Barber Series. Edit to add: This image was taken before I sent the coin to CAC where it received a Green Bean ! Edited March 19, 2014 by Elbesaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpcienkus Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks Bobby and Walkerfan. I'm very happy with the purchase. I didn't see a mark on the obverse either and that was the reason I bought it. There is a little bit of "toning" on the right reverse, and 2 contact marks on the eagle, but nothing too distracting. I think the reverse actually kept it from a higher grade. When I saw the Peace Dollar, I knew I wanted to add it to my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yonico Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Last night was one of these times when i couldn't win anything. every single coin i bid on, i was outbid by a dollar or two, right at the end of the auction.. this is the only one i managed to get (although i got it at my max bid, so not very happy) 1921 Morgan Dollar, PCGS 63 Edited March 24, 2014 by yonico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wygold Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and I'm new to the coin collecting world. So don't mind me if I seem to be such a newbie. I'll eventually get good enough to know what I'm doing and I'm hopping that I am making the right choices when it comes to purchasing without being suckered into wasting a ton of money. So I went down to a local auction house to bid on some items that weren't relating to coin collecting (I won a baby bassinet and a vintage porcelain sign). So before I was ready to cash out they pulled out some coin lots and I decided to try my luck on some of them. I eventually won 1 lot. I was happy and the best part was that I had fun. The lot contained 9- Barber Dime and 1- Eisenhower Dime. My coins aren't the best from what I've seen here on the forum but I chosen the best looking Barber Dime and the Rosevelt Dime to show everyone. I'm sorry for the image quality as I don't have one of them fancy DSLR cameras and I used my iPhone instead. 1905-S Barber Dime 1946 Rosevelt Dime Edited March 24, 2014 by wygold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
