Thread: US silver dollar collection

I don't have a lot, but some cool history in these coins:





I need to get some better photos, these are off of my scanner. Maybe my scanner at work can do better. I notice some guys get some AWESOME pics of coins, any tips would be great

Some day I would love to add a flowing hair liberty, Carolus IIII, as well as the older style Carolus III pillar dollar.

Amazing!

Makes my mouth water. Nice lay out.

For my set, I was not worried about gradable coins, which helps the wallet a lot The Silver Eagle, the peace dollar, and the morgan are all nice never cleaned and gradable. But the rest are problem coins that have either been cleaned, or were not gradable because of rim damage, etc. The Carlos III coin I got for a great deal (or at least I think so). It was from a reputable dealer on ebay, but he had a typo in the title of the add, so I think it was missed by a lot of people, and I bid at the last second and got it for under 80 shipped. I did as much research and testing as I could on my end and no red flags. For the collection I was not worried about if the coins were gradable, I just looked for authentic coins with good eye appeal. The bust dollar was certified genuine but non gradable by PCGS, but it has great eye appeal. The first thing I did was break it out of the slab. My intention with the collection was to have coins I was not scared to hold in my hand. I was young and dumb and lightly dipped the bust dollar, and then immediately regretted it. After that I handled it a bunch and let it set on my dresser and it has retoned nicely, but lesson learned.

I really want a flowing hair, but man are they expensive!!!

When i get some time I am going to try to get some better pics with a camera.

I sincerely hope it is the image presentation, but at least three of those pieces look counterfeit.

No 40% Ike?
