$4 at my coin shop, jumped on it.

 

Heck dang, you got that one for less than melt.

 

Heck I'd pay double that and then treat him to lunch. That is one of the nicest BCH's I've seen in a long time.

 

A couple I posted over on the Barber thread. Figured I would show them some love here too.

 

just got from ebay $13.00incs/h

 

My latest ancient. Bought it due to the toning & most importantly, rarity, seems there is only a few known of this time, with the peacock standing on the throne.


FAUSTINA Sr. (138-141 AD)
AR Denarius
Lifetime Issue
O: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA Draped bust right.
O:IVNONI REGINAE Peacock seated on throne and scepter behind.

3.5g
RIC-340, RSC-221 BMC (Antoninus Pius) 145 (same reverse die)

 

I'm ignorant about ancients. But that is incredible, Mat!

This is a new CBH for the set.
Lance.

 

Very nice CBH, Lance. Is that a clash on the reverse?

 

Very nice, James. I have an SBA collection of my own and really like your pickup. -L

 

I thought this was interesting from the "slab collectors" vantage point.

 

New 1887-O Vam ????
But mint mark DV.

 

That 14-S makes me want to touch myself, LP. Gorgeous.

 

Below the banner and above the right wing? Yes. These are notorious for clashing. Particularly 1814. I have a few and they're all delightfully clashed.

Here's a lower grade one (XF40).
Lance.

 

Hey, I have one of those. Got it from the mint in '99. So now 2 of us have one!

 

There are some really nice looking coins in this thread. Makes me want to go on a buying binge.

 

Received this in the mail today for my type set.

 

Just got this today

 

These Barber Halves in the 1890's are getting harder to find in Fine(ish). Yeah, OK this one's VG/F but I still loved the toning.
