hoard Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Small office that knows I collect, so occasionally they bring in coins they have and I give them a estimate. This one was just given to me so I offered a cup of coffee down the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonWare Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 The 1824 was only $85 and I bought it sight unseen. Silly really, I already had a great 1824. The 1827 is a little below the grade that I general like to buy these coins in, but it is an original looking coin and 0.138 is R4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeKing Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I like them both, but I escpecially like the 1827. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 They look like nice CBHs, Winston, though your previous 1824 must not have been that nice if you went out and purchased another sight-unseen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Similar to Winston, my newest purchase arrived today and it is a duplicate to one that I already own and that I am quite happy with. However, I am a sucker for this design and believe that superior examples are a good buy at present levels. The new coin, shown below, is the same grade as the previous one and I will be keeping both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinstonWare Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Tom, you know I love my other 1824. I’m embarrassed to say that I had forgotten that it was an 1824 until I tried to export the image of my new 1824 and got the “replace existing 1824.jpg?” The original 1824 is still raw, so it sits in my safe, and not in my case. That’s my only excuse for forgetting that I already owned one . Maybe I’ll try to sell this new 1824 at the Boston show. I can’t lose much, I only paid $85. That is a very nice Connecticut I like that off-white look on commemoratives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeKing Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) I forget what I have and what I'm looking for myself. I get focused on a year or two, searching searching and then don't even remember what I have. Tom...ABSOLUTELY beautiful CT. Not that I'm into grades, but that's got to be at least an MS67. No?

Bruceswar Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 A few new ones from this week... Here is one I think almost everybody will like.... Here is a neat looking Seated Half. Worn to hell but cool! Here is an interesting Proof Cent... And here we have an orginal looking Seated Half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Bruce, I noticed and was wondering what was up. It's a good thing you are back. All of your new coins are quite interesting and have positive appeal, but I think I like the Columbian the most only because the 1861 Seated half might have had a spot removed from the obverse.

Bruceswar Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Tom Thanks for the concern. I just had alot on my mind and I needed to clear it out. Then Thanksgiving came so more away time from the computer. Now I am not sure how much I will be posting, but we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBA101 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 You broke your ANACS holder! The coin looks OK from the photo, but that can be deceiving. I have had a few disappointments with ANACS coins, but with these well worn pieces, who knows what could have been done to them, especially with all those coin doctors out there.

TomB Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 The coin appears to be somewhat underlit, but still looks like a nice piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonWare Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 The coin appears to be somewhat underlit, but still looks like a nice piece. That’s because it’s cloudy out I tried to use my copystand previously and was getting too much light on my coins. Since I’m getting a new camera for Christmas, I’m just waiting till then to try to use my copystand correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
