Let's see your newest acquisitions!

I am kind of starting to like them, but I am not and never been a fan of the modern era coins, nothing with our presidents on them. I do however collect the Lincoln cent because it is what I started with and am now determined to finish. I did need the Susan B. Anthony dollar for my 70/70 album and it didn't cost me a cent, so I shall take it

Hello Zack24; I feel that you got this lovely Half Cent for a very fair price! Congratulations! I'm looking for a Half Cent for my type collection for a reasonable price such as your coin, but the pickins are slim amongst many dogs out there!

 

What a hoot! Now I've seen everything. Are you going to actually use it on your commode? LOL

 

Does not compute...

 

Isn't that set of coins mounted on a toilet seat cover? It sure looks like it, but if I am wrong I whole-heartedly apologize.

 

Thanks to the generous offer from Winged Liberty, I was able to obtain one of the most eye appealing MPL's around. Thanks WL, this finishes the set with pizzaz.

 

Simply stunning, robec!

That is SUCH A GREAT MPL Robec!!! The pink, blue, and violet color is just electric. Enjoy it in good health. I know you will give it a good home!

 

Three Little Indians

Snagged this when silver was at $26. Got it right in time it seems. The tubes are all roosies.

Here's one I've had for a month or so. Took the time to photograph it last night.




Not a newp, but I also re-imaged this one last night... NGC MS63

 

Can't remember if I posted this one here... :scratch:

EDIT: Just checked... Posted on previous page (152). Ooops. Well, since this already posted here, here's the write-up I included, because I got no responses to my questions...

"Gotta love 24-hour eBay auctions!

I was able to :sniper:this one in the last five seconds (those seconds where your hearts pounding so hard it feels like it's gonna explode!) for what I believe was a fair price for an amazingly-original coin. I guess NGC wasn't able to look past the 150-year-old hairline scratch at 5 o' clock (between star #13 and 2nd '8') on the obverse, but it didn't bother me... Infact, it took me a few seconds to even find the scratch once I read NGC's label! It's fairly easy to tell the coin was a higher grade when the abrasion occured because the patina has developed over it, creating a nice, even look. It's not in a focal area and isn't disrupting the overall eye appeal. What do y'all think? What would you have paid for a coin like this? (Please don't answer if you saw the realized price).

One more thing; Do you think it's a good candidate for a crack-out? Maybe store in a 2x2 or Dansco? VF25/30 suitable (disregarding the scratch ofcourse)? Please share your thoughts!!!

 

Yes you did. Two days ago.

 

Love that '21.

Thanks, green.

Bought this amazingly toned 1944 Lincoln Cent off ebay a few days ago. The color on Lincolns coat is practically flourescent. 1944 was an interesting year because the U.S.Mint melted down WWII Shell Casings to help make Lincoln Cents that year -- so there is a bit of the great war melted into these coppers.

 

Incredible, WL!... But how's the reverse? Just as incredible, I presume.

Also, is the spot at 1 o' clock on the coin or the slab?
