We've gotta have scans of the coins after they arrived! Looks like you got a nice Half Dime in the first lot. Can't tell about the rest of the coins though.

 

My risky bid was a lot of 30 OPA Tokens with no pictures, turns out the lot contained a MM which is about a $10 token. Only paid $13 for the whole lot, and got a WWII era ration pouch to store them in as well.

I will post then even if they are Pants

 

ps chad its not even the Half dime in the lot which i took the risk on

Are they the size of cents? I've never seen one in person, so I don't know. If that is indeed an Isabella, YOU SUCK!

$350 on eBay:

 

 

It had miniscule, out-of-focus pictures and no stated return policy.

 

Oddly enough, this is a coin today I would never dream of bidding on, but sure am glad I wasn't always so "wise".

 

Have fun...Mike

Dooly,

I don't believe you have an Isabella quarter there as the head is tilted back to far. The Isabella quarter was pretty much a vertical bust of Queen Isabella and the reverese was a kneeling woman of industry. As to the size I do not know.

Mike what is the dollar coin you are showing, I have never seen this particular coin before?

It's a gold $1. Very small coin.

[jesbroken]

Thanks Chad. I have never seen a Princess head $1 big enough to make out the bust before. I thought it was a proof or pattern coin-never thought about gold. You

got one by me Mike(which is not so hard as I'm sure you are aware).

Very nice bit of gold there has to be MS-60 + ? and longacer dubling

seems like a bit of a "risky bid" bargin well done

This was listed as "SUPER RARE 1950 PCI PR68 DCAM FRANKLIN!! $100,000.00". Which I knew it wasn't, However, even with a crappy tilted and angled image, I thought there might be a possibility that it might go 65 Cameo. I ended up paying MS63 money for it. It didn't come back from NGC as Cameo, but did get MS65.

 

[dooly]

Nice coin shame about the cameo rating but it looks full bell lines to me

That's either the best business strike Franklin in the world, or it's a proof

[robec1347]

Oops! Good eye Chad. I meant PF63 money and came back PF65.

[Prethen]

 

The coin turned out to be an awesome 1879 3CN PF65 in a rattler holder and probably could Cameo without a problem.

[dooly]

Wow awsome "risky bid" there BCG

[dooly]

Results of my risky bid part 1.....

 

The two 1922 peace dollars came today turned out to be a D & S mint marks (which was nice).. not the best condition BUT .. There could be a Vam on the 22 S

 

see what you think .. I have looked on the Vam web site but was unable to find this "Rays over Rock".. now this is the first 22 S i have owned and they could all have this on them !!

 

 

Normal Rocks !.......................................Ray rocks !
