Latest ancient for this empress, Lucilla I am building. Got 7 reverses to get still, about halfway there!

 

I should have known that... LOL!

Thank you!

 

Another IH that came in the mail today. Took a gamble on this one; seller had blurry photos. However, there wasn't much bidding and I was able to win it for $3.13 (free shipping!). Here's the seller's photos:






And here's what came in the mail today:




Other than the fact that there's a small corrosion spot on the bow on the reverse, and that the seller shipped it poorly (envelope inside an envelope; no flip or bubble wrap -- ouch!), the coin looks awesome. If not for the corrosion, it would have probably graded a choice AU RB. The best $3.13 I have ever spent on a coin!

 

1938 Lincoln Cent (PCGS MS65BN). This was a raw Lincoln Cent that I picked up on eBay for $3.99 + $1.95 shipping. PCGS graded this MS65BN. The colors, especially on the obverse, are just amazing. I get a big kick out of these cheap bargain coins -- this is a lot of fun for under $6. Of course, I did have grading and photo costs added to that.

 

I love searching the cheap seat too Wing... Anyone can go out and pay 25%+ markup on a stunning eye grabbing coin, but the thrill for me is doing the same thing without the markup !!
Here are a couple I got for less than $40 combined on the 'bay... MS63 and MS64 from PGCS upon submission.

 

I liked the toning on this one. Especially the bluish/purple area over the flag on the obverse. It's not a high grade, but I purchased this for my Walker short set.

 

Just won this at Heritage Orlando.



Goes good with my 1917 (both below).

Some crusty tone on there J, still a looker though!

 

Thanks man. Yeah a little crusty. The reverse is what sold me. Likewise this Franklin was under $100.

 

Picked up from my local B&M, was listed as choice bu but i got it for only ten bucks!



took a better pic of the obverse...

 

Doesn't look that crusty to me! That's some really smooth rainbow rim toning you got there! Definitely worth more than $100 if you send it in to a TPG, IMHO.

 

I don't see any mention of a TPG in the ad. I'm hoping that this is just in a plastic holder. Looking forward to submitting it. My guess is 64 though.

My newest "new" that came in the mail today. Its in a 1st generation green fatty sample slab, but for $10 I couldn't resist. I'll post my find from the Summer FUN show in Orlando later.

 

Here's some pics of the Barber that just came in the mail -- it really has some brilliant luster to it. (If anyone can show me how to post "fuller" pictures of slabbed coins, I would love the help ). MS63 NGC -- I'm thinking it could've hit a 64 if not for some minor marks on the cheek.

 

This was cool looking and I couldn't resist buying it ...
