leeg Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Some very nice new additions since my last. (thumbs u Check on the way to get this one paid and sent to me from Mike @ Kittle Coins: It's very tough to find a Bridgeport with nice color and lustre. I feel this example fit's the bill.

jpcienkus Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Cool SLQ Lee. The toning is interesting. It is a little distracting, but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe, That is a pretty good observation as far as distracting. There is a lot going on with this coin. Much nicer in hand. I actually split the coin into four equal parts and just looked at that part. That way all parts fit together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpcienkus Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks Johnny and Irvin! Lee, That's a cool way to look at the SLQ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jom Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Nice SLQ Lee. I mean, I don't find the toning all that distracting myself but even if one did luster under the toning could alleviate much of the distraction. Luster can "cure" a lot of issues such as weak strike or surface issues from an eye appeal POV. jom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really like the coin and its not distracting to me at all. I was just letting Joe know how you can look at things a little differently.

david3142 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Beautifully matched O-mint coins. Looks like that 1899-O is a solid 65 (or perhaps better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcesKings Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Thank you! All 3 are graded 64 by PCGS. I think the '99 came up short of 65 because of the hit on the eagles wing and light spotting on the reverse. Still, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nater222-migration Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Monetarily - Not really worth much more than melt. But I sure did think it was purdy. I don't know Bill, unless im not seeing the lustre right this looks like a solid 64 with no major distractions and very nice soft toning. I will pay at least double melt for this one.

david3142 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Looks like a nice 64 to me, too. Also a great match for this coin I just won from Heritage: http://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dollars/1902-1-ms64-pcgs-pcgs-population-2738-2061-ngc-census-2489-1124-mintage-7-994-777-numismedia-wsl-price-for-prob/a/131506-23620.s?ic2=mybidspage-lotlinks-12202013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastufka Collection Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Here are some new purchases for my type set project. I'll probably send the Morgan out for an axial lighting picture eventually, it has amazing reflective surfaces. I haven't figured out how to take good axial pics yet. A nice little gold half eagle... And a silver bicentennial Kennedy half dollar, which completes the silver bicentennial mini-set for me: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
