Let's see your newest acquisitions!

That VDB is a wreck. I like it.

These first year Lincolns sure have a lot of character. I regret selling the one below but I just didn't need so many. The spot at 9k obverse is actually an untoned, lustrous area. Part of another coin was likely sitting on it a long time.

I size images only 600x600 normally (below is an exception) because other forums are not as forgiving. Cointalk handles them well.

Great news! You hit a homer.

You can probably get that gunk off. An acetone dip is quite safe. If that doesn't work a long bath in mineral oil might do it. Use a rose thorn if you have to pick at it. If it softens a q-tip might work.

Tough to grade these from pictures. The incuse design is challenging, especially when it comes to hairlines and such.

Just bought this last night ...


Design Backgound:

The 1915-S Panama-Pacific half dollar was designed by Barber (obverse) and Morgan (reverse). The exposition, held in 1915 in San Francisco, celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal and Pacific Ocean commerce. These coins sold for $1 each at the exposition. The obverse shows a represenation of the Goddess Columbia scattering flowers with a naked cherub holding a cornacopia representing the abundant resources of the American West -- behind them the Golden Gate and settng Sun. The Sun with rays was a popular design element of the day having been used on the St. Gaudens $20 gold piece, and the following year adopted on the Walking Liberty Half desgin. This was the first Commemorative coin to carry the "In God We Trust" motto. The remaining mintage is 27,134 (after 33,000 were melted down).

Grading Info:

The finish of these coins did not have the typical deep mint luster associated with earlier silver issues; but instead was satinlike with a microscopic grainy finish. On the reverse, the eagles breast feathers were indistinct on all coins -- a characteristic that often gives mint state coins the appearance of having light wear. These factors make this coin in particular difficult to grade. Most specimins of this coin fall into the range from AU50 to MS63.

 

yes sir!

 

picked this up about a month ago.

 

messed up with the pictures, got the franklin about a month ago and just picked up the peace dollar a few days ago.

 

That franklin and peace are STUNNING. Fantastic coins.

 

Yes it is. But, that Pan-Pacific of yours? Priceless. Very nice indeed and a marvelous addition to your collection.

 

thanks I got real good prices on it too. got the franklin for like 50 from coast to coast and a 100 for the peace dollar (local coin shop gave me a lil discount for referring customers)

 

These just arrived today, modern commems, but they mean a lot to me....

Great Comemorative Green. That is the first one I have seen outside of the US mint catalog. My most recent coin is this Roman silver denarus its over 1,800 years old. Emperor Antonius Pius.

who says a dollar can't buy anything?

at my favorite bank today the teller says hey, I been waiting for you. I went in to relieve them of $50 in cents. She says these are Canadian, but they're silver. You want 'em? I say sure lemme do some math. She says nah just give me face! Awesome! So I got 7 cents change along with some random oldies, and these. Enjoy!

 

Nice "Bluenoses" and silver nickels.
