Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Here's my latest Ebay purchase: 1994-P 5c MS69FS SMS. There was no reserve and sniped it at the last second for $56. From various coin price sites and completed eBay items, it seems the coin in question goes anywhere from $90-$150. Here's the sellers photos. Should be here tomorrow or the day after.

Now there's a nickel you find in your pocket change. Very nice.

 

Coming from you, that's high praise Not the monster toners you have.... But a nice addition to my "nickels that Dansco doesn't have holes for" set.

 

You would be hard pressed to find any marks on that nickel, exceptional acquisition Coinstruck!

 

I am new to certain stuff when it comes to coins, but why would the die gouge be a little bonus? And is it worth slabbing?

 

I do not know if it's worth slabbing. However, that is a large noticeable die gouge. Here it is blown up.



I would start here to see if it matches up with any of the known VAMS for this year/mint mark.

It looks close to this one. I am not very knowledgeable in Peace dollars though, so check it out.

The Jeff gets a bad wrap often. Most people think that modern nickels, from the 70-present, are all FS and high grade.
That is simply not the case. Finding MS66 FS nickels for many years and mints in the 70's, for example, are rare and valuable.

 

A cool looking 1942 Proof Lincoln. PCGS graded this PR63RD. Clearly PCGS blew the color classification -- this should be a RB not a RD, since it has less than 95% original mint fresh copper color. I like the way Lincoln looks like a gold cameo against the fiery orange-red field. I also updated my colorfully-toned Pre-War Wheat-backed Lincoln Mirror Proof Set with this beauty.

 

Grabbed a few coins when I visited a not so near coin shop. This is exactly what I was looking for! He had it as a VF30- I believe that was a low grade

Love it

 

Nice! Looks more like an xf40/45 to me. :thumb:

 

BigTee, that is a steal at VF-30 money! I love it.

 

'Nother new Walker. This one ought to be interesting in hand also. I'm not big on dark toning, usually it's splotchy and crusty looking. This one looks fully colored and a nice deep even color. Paid right a book value for it, so the toning is just an added bonus.



Not the best picture, ill get a better one when she's in hand.

 

That is a beautiful coin, wouldn't mind owning that one myself. Looks like it has just about everything right going for it. Nice pick-up!

 

I can't wait to see this coin with some light actually shining it.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Ill try and get a decent shot when she gets here

 

Heritage Fun haul:

I was attracted to the prooflike qualities to this coin, but it appears to have been puttied





and 2 others

 

Last one, cool holder - coin ain't bad either

Goldberg Long Beach newps:

1859 no motto $10. Estimates run around 120 -150 in all grades. One or two in uncirculated. Funny thing about these no motto tens: because the series is so long, with gold so expensive, and so many scarce to exceedingly rare dates - there are few set collectors. A coin like this can be had for 50% over melt. I think NGC let a light cleaning slide and "silently net graded" it down a notch or two. No real hairlines, but surfaces are somewhat glossy.
