Playing the Blues' Post 'em if you got 'em

Great end roll toning J. That would make a great thread. Guess the year and Mint. I am guessing 55s.

 

Wow---impressive 55S it is.

In fact, this came from the same roll that produced the world famous...one of a kind...R8....

Man, there are a WHOLE BUNCH of GORGEOUS coins here!!! GREAT going everybody!!!

 

Here's a coin that had me singing the blues today (a FBL graded coin that is not FBL). BTW, the bottom half is not brown, but is a lustrous copper tone...

 

 

And here are some coins that chase away my blues...

I have posted this proof set before but it seems to fit this thread so here it is again.

There are just too many of these to chose from since I posted last. Very nice coins all. That 55s Lincoln is too cool.

[bsshog40]

Another nice one there again Sky!!

[robec1347]

Wow!!! What a bunch of great looking toners. Lee, Sy, Michael and all the many more. Sy, there are a couple of beauties there that I don't think you've ever posted before. Very nice. Lee, I'm always impressed with your Lincolns. A GREAT collection. And Boiler, you must have a direct link to the Smithsonian or some museum that funnels all their great material to you.

 

to everyone.

[TonerGuy]

Boiler -- just amazing! I love old proof sets. My 1879 dime is from my attempt at a complete 1879 proof set.

 

Congrats those are some amazing coins. I wish I could accomplish with my set what you have.

 

Michael

[ibyandsellsmith]

[rrantique]

Great coins by all, here is some more to keep the blues going

 

sorry for the terrible images

[bsshog40]

More nice one's there DD and Irvin!

[Stanley]

I posted this a few days ago in another thread for the first time un edited. This is the same image except I used the auto adjust to bring the back ground to white and this is the results.

[jesbroken]

What's with the 'O' in One on the reverse, JRocco?

[rrantique]

I think the white background does look better with blue toning Stan nice coin.

[SkyMan]

Nice ones, DD, Irvin and Stanley!!!

 

 

More detail of the reverse...

 

[rbrown4]

There is a little bit of blue on this one.

 

 

[BOILER78]

Thanks for the kind words on the 1871 proof set. I really didn't intend to buy it but I made a couple of mistakes.

 

first- I had it sent on approval.

second- I opened the package.

 

It was one of those purchase made instantly without having to search my sons room looking for my loupe.

 

Here is a new blue Trade dollar for the pattern collection.

 

[ldhair]

Beautiful Trade Dollar Boiler and that proof set is really special.

I don't know a lot about these early sets but the Seated coins are so well matched, they look as if they have been together from the start. Maybe the whole set has.

Could a person in those days buy these as full sets from the mint and if so, how was it packaged? How in the world did they survive all these years in this condition? How did folks store their coins in those days?

I know, I know, too many questions.
