That is niiiiiiiice and frosty. Mm MMmm!

 

About half a week ago I posted a picture of the 1956 Lincoln Proof Cent roll that I gambled on on eBay for $160, hoping for some nice toners. Well, I definitely got more than I bargained for! Not only did I get some nice toners, I managed to find not one, not two, but FOUR 1956 DDO's in the roll (they are the first DD's I've ever found while roll searching :yes. Very pleased with the results. Below are pictures of the best toner of the lot (off to robec soon), and close ups of one of the DDO's.

That is super cool creme!

 

pick ups from this morning think i did very well for 130 bucks 2 oz round is sterling

 

The one with the owls is very nice!

 

my girlfriend is an owl person so she saw it and i bought it. after searching around some discovered it is franklin mint which i am not to fond of but its hers and it is silver

 

Happy girlfriend usually equals a happy numismatist.

 

Can't go wrong with silver! And the happy girlfriend stuff too

 

and i'm happy i snagged that 1888 s for only 36 bucks

 

I was in Indy for Thanksgiving, so I stopped at Lost Dutchman and got some new coins:
If you can tell, this 1953-S Roosevelt has mulriple die cracks on the reverse.


At this point in time, I am pretty pleased with these pics, especially considering they are cell phone pics.

 

Well, not exactly new, but this is the first time this little lady posed for me.....

 

I know I should stick to the foreign area to which I belong:nerd: but could not resist.
Bought in early 2012: circulating trade coin known as an "An Owl", also it's silver too!

 

looks like a 65 if not better!

 

PCGS thinks it is a 65

 

That has a great obverse and reverse! I saw one in an old auction catalog and if they are even a similar coin, it is gonna set me back when I finally do find and purchase one.

 

I just sniped this off eBay....:sniper:... :secret: I think its going to look alot better in hand then the crappy seller pics even better it wasn't even listed as toned, i wont say how much i paid for it but lets just say i even donated $1 to the world food org.

 

That is groovy looking. :yes:
