Let's see your newest acquisitions!

I think you'd like this one. There's not a carbon spot to be seen. There are plenty of marks on the holder though.

It is a PCGS holder, but I bought this for my Type Set in the NGC Registry. The grade is PR66BN. I love the 66BN grade in copper.....both proof and MS.

Just bought this today. This might be the some of the nicest color I've ever seen on a regular business strike Franklin.
Since it's single-sided toning, I am guessing it came from an old U.S. Mint Set with the sulfur-laden tissue paper cover.

 

EEEK! You should only let the monsters out around Halloween. Not my style, but looks wonderful. Congrats on the purchase.

 

laughing at your comment! i go ga-ga over color like this.

 

I was really pleased to add this coin to my set as it is an easily obtainable coin in most grades, but I try to hold out for something unique. This one is a 65 RB and I really fell for the target toning on this one. A few prints are present, but easily overlooked when this coin is in hand. Thanks, Matt

 

Pic from seller, horrible pic. Paid $40. Not a bad price for a 66fb.

 

Nice!!!

 

It's nothing spectacular...but hey...it's my first silver eagle so I like it



Sorry I didn't put much effort in the lighting for the photo next time I'll try a little harder

 

very nice...I'm a big mercury dime fan!

 

My big purchase @25 cents, now my lincoln cent collection is up todate

 

I'm likin' blue reflective ASE proofs and generic 2011D shield cents......

Dwhiz? Thinking you might have overpaid for that one. Take care and watch out for them "sharks" in the future........

 

I may have as I paid with a state quarter and the dealer looked at it and thought it was a Delaware but it wasn't.
As for the sharks I only swim in lakes...oh wait I'm going to the FUN show in Jan. that will be loaded with sharks and piranha

 

I recently had the chance to buy a whole box of rolls but since most of them were later date wheats in the 50s I passed on all but the earliest two. I don't know what I'll do with them in the time to come, but for now I will keep them intact and be satisfied just wondering how nice some of them inside must look like. Pretty cool to have a few OBWRs laying around from WWII

 

Won this off HA tonight.

 

pezdspnsr, I love your lighting effect on the ASE ... VERY COOL ... How did you manage to get the mirror on the coin blue? Was the coin reflecting a blue wall? Or perhaps evening blue sky? The color really makes the cameo pop too. A very cool photographic effect. In any case, congrats on your first Silver Eagle!! Once you buy one, you will buy more I'm sure. A truly gorgeous coin.



dwhiz, keep that collection going! what year does your LC collection start?

coppermania, nice rainbow on the 30-S and very cool old rolls (boy you rarely see those anymore!)

ldhair, what is a "clashed die" exactly? i have heard that term from time to time but have no idea what it is, or how you recognize it.

merccrazy, Nice one!! I love it! Great original toning. Those old green holders often house great coins!

 

My latest ancient. I just loved the victory artwork on this ancient.

Thanks WingedLiberty! It was the sky. I had to use natural light to get a decent image because my flash and incandescent bulbs in the house just wasn't cutting it. I tilted the coin over by my sliding door to get some decent light and there you go. A blue reflecting ASE

 

Fantastic look. It almost appears Miss Liberty is walking outside with a blue sky background ... it's gives a nice 3D effect.

 

Nice additions everyone.

This one just came back from ANACS PR63 RB. Both pictures are of the same coin, just two lighting sources.
