Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Oh, and let's not forget my favorite pickup last week. A beautifully toned 1960 proof Franklin.



Can't wait to get the SLR back because these pictures do zero justice to this half.

2009 Lincoln Dollar Set

Just arrived today! $ 100 for both on eBay



Some small scratches on the PF70 slab to the right of Lincoln's eye, not on the coin :rollling:

 

Nice coins Caz :yes:

My new pickups- Got a 1891 S Vf dime and a 1870 3 cent piece in a bag of silver dimes for 2.40 each, was about to get a 1853 quarter in the bag of silver quarters but decided not too, glad that I didn't because I found a nice Peace I wanted.

 

Thanks! I am hoping to find a dime and quarter with similar toning. Then my toned proof set will be complete.
Here's the nickel and cent I reshot last night with axial to show the toning.

 

2009 Lincoln Dollar Set

 

Did the seated quarter break your $32 record?

 

I sure hope not! That'd mean he overpaid...

-Brian

 

Nope. Got it for $21.

And that ain't overpaying. It is just setting the market price higher

Had to ask

 

That nickel is amazing! No spots, and simply smooth toning from a cold blue to soft green makes it a definite winner in my eyes!

 

Well I was being nice. It actually looks like a girl with a hair lip.

 

Thanks. I have not been able to quite show it before I tried axial lighting. Here are my other attempts:

 

At least Sacagawea looks like a girl. "Miss Liberty" on the Morgan dollar looks like a man in Wild-west drag.

 

Like my gramps says, " where I'm from the men are men, and the women...well they are men"

 

Junk silver finds


This 64-D is somewhat PL- it has a noticeable cameo.
