Thanks creme: the 1960 Proof Roosevelt Dime Toned, $24.99 plus $1.99 shipping on eBay, already graded PR67 by PCGS.

 

Not a particularly attractive commemorative coin, but I figured for $13 shipped I should have an example in my horses set.

 

Just picked up these two off GreatCollections. I cherrypicked the dime for $10 (BP included) which has a monster reverse, and managed to win the Franklin for $36 (BP included). I paid about double the Franklin's value for its toning, but overall I think it's worth it.

 

Two more Kryptonite toners for my collection.

 

Finally got around to imaging these.

Also got this stone mountain. Bought it to give to a friend. I hope he enjoys.


Go ahead and hover over and click the eagles for larger images.

2012-S Proof ASE, yes... Those are big scratches.... Thinking of doing an exchange.

BUT!! The reverse proof is absolutely stunning!

 

I love the reverse proofs! Great images too Caz. Some of the best I have seen you take! Nice.


I've been gaining some interest in Mercury dimes recently. I have a real appreciation for the design and they are very photogenic.
I just randomly decided to put together a "War" set.
Then I decided to try and put together the set with FSB.
Then I don't know what happened.
I found some time to image some.

Nice set of War dimes! Good luck trying to complete a FSB set of those when you need to aquire the "king" of all FB mercs -- the 1945 P with FB!

 

Was waiting for this package, pretty happy when it came.





This 1881 looks killer:



Two looks of the 78-S:






I have been looking for an 1890 DMPL:






Two looks of this toned rattler:

 

Something different for me. Nicely golden toned 'No cents" nickel.

 

My most recent, a nice proof wheat cent.

 

My! That is gorgeous!

 

I bought this raw Ike on eBay a few days ago and I just got it in today's mail. It's very colorful with unusually smooth toning for a Copper Nickel Mint State Ike. In a few days, it's off to robec for some professional photos, then off to PCGS for grading. These large coins are kind of cool, and I wish the mint still made them and they circulated. Having some big dollar coins in your pocket makes you feel kind of rich, even if you only have a few bucks.

 

Hello! I get these coins for 3,05 €

WOW what a stunner just out of curiosity what did you pay for it??

 

P.S. The toning may be smooth but what is unusually smooth is the fields and overall coin itself. Thats a nice Ike with the given pics im gonna say it comes back with a MS66.

 

NEWP for the Everyman Type Set from AnkurJ's website. Photo from website:

 

And newp from greatcollections. It does have some problems in spotting on the reverse and what appears to be a counting wheel mark on the obverse, but I liked the strike and is a good filler until I can find a better one.
