Some upgrades for my typeset. Pictures came out a little darker than I wanted but I was trying to capture the color accurately.

Here's a Busty I won yesterday night , I needed the variety . It's an O-107 , besides the die cracks one of the main diagnostics is what appears to be an extra arrowshaft between the eagles right talon . I'm hoping after I crack her out , a little time in a mannilla envelope will darken her a little . It;s in the old white ANACS holder graded EF which I agree with .

Nice '23, Rusty!

Can't tell if that had another meaning to it... :devil:

 

I have had some surprise auction wins lately. This was another on an opening bid way under it's value. I won this on line but picked it up in person. No one else counter offered. Shame on them, good for me. While there, I watched the feeding frenzy by the gold and silver bullion case.

 

Here's the other early 50's cent I purchased. Sorry for no fancy effects...taken with phone camera as the SD card in the digital camera was on the fritz.

 

I just bought this 1912 Matte Proof Lincoln (PCGS PR65BN). I owned it for a few months in 2011, then I sold it to Robec, now I just bought it back from him (funny how that happens sometimes) ...



This one just sings in my Matte Proof Lincoln collection ...

 

New Ike today!

 

Silver Eagle Set

 

Recently found 2 of these medals at a local shop that's more of a gold/silver shop than numismatist. This medal is from 1924 and was designed by Gutzon Borglum to show his design and raise money to carve Stone Mountain. Borglum was fired and left to carve Mt. Rushmore. Two more medal designs followed then the design was more or less used for the stone mountain commemorative.
