cpm9ball Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 .....ER- did you find it in change?? Yep, and I was thrilled. Guys, your designation was close, but it was really Downtown Mall Parking Lot. Dallas was just a guess because Texas is so small that all the cities are close to one another. C H R I S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I went to the local show today and went a little crazy on the mexican! I really couldn't help it, they were really pretty and oh so cheap! The first are some classic pesos from 1938 and 1943, then a 1956 5-peso Hidalgo, then a couple 1968 Olympic 25-pesos (one is Prooflike) then two 1-ounce silver rounds dated 1985 commemorating two of the most famous Mexican designs. In total these coins contain 4.23 ounces of pure silver and I paid $41.50 for all of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruceswar Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Jeff have you ever got a Lower rings 1968 Olympic Coin? Those are neat to have if you ask me. Great coins from Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ_E Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 A new one for me... 1798 Dollar ... Its the first O Mint Marked Dollar 'Tis a shame about the hole. Otherwise it has tremendous eye-appeal. You should get it filled and retoned. I see nothing wrong with that at all. Just like I saw nothing wrong with Hoot getting his 1804 cent tooled and restored. Afterall, it is all about the collector's taste. Downside is that it opens the door down the road for unscrupulous sellers. But, Bruce, you're unscrupulous anyway so you have absolutely nothing to loose. You all know that's not true!! p.s. Hoot, how about an update on the toning of your 1804 cent?

I am going to have it plugged soon I hope.... then store it away for some time and let it get nice and dark... more original looking .. at least whoever made the hole did it in a not so bad spot if there can be one...

Is it easier to discern the "lower rings" by the spacing from the rim or the spacing from the foot (above)? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpm9ball Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Aha, now we know CT's "MO". 18 pages! I've noticed that this thread sometimes takes a little while to load. Are we bogging down the system, Arch? What is the record for the most pages with pics? What is the record for the most pics in one thread? Should we submit this to Guinness?

Regis44 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I've been watching all the beautiful coins on this post. Here is most of my May purchases. This fits the recent advice "collect what you like within your budget". I'll increase my budget when I learn to grade better. Folks on this board have been great help, especially Supertooth. His tips are the reason you see some better coins in this group. An assortment from coin dealer, ebay, antique shop, and local auction. One of the better ones was actually below silver and a few I paid a little too much. Regis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
