Anybody buy anything outstanding (in your opinion) lately

I haven't been buying for the last week or two. Just sorting. So I will live vicariously off of others.

I was able to buy and place a nice mint state 1914-D Lincoln in the hands of one of my better collector accounts this week.

I wont do any "serious" buying untill Long Beach.

My entertainment budget has been tight for a year so purchases have been few.
And at the moment I'm saving up for a Vegas trip.
I really enjoy going to Vegas even though Nevada is "greener" after my trip.
I think I came home with more money than I went with only once out of 12-15 trips.
I think(?) I'll have enough money to buy one or two good coins at the Baltimore Whitman show in June.

The roulette tables at the Paris were very good to me last month when I was there. Black 8 straight up is your friend.

..a couple ebay deals...

Depends on your collecting interest and how much you are looking to spend, but I bought BOTH of these coins (not each) this month on eBay for 45 dollars.

The Liberty nickel is struck on a foreign planchet.

They were both great deals, but as much as I think they're nice...the guy collecting slabbed MS-66 stuff that's been around the hobby for a long time...might just yawn. I think they're outstanding deals....not outstanding coins....well, the V nickel is pretty cool. There can't be that many examples of that error floating around.
