Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Newest addition is a Julia Domna Antoninianus. Ive had it for awhile but havent been happy with the photos. I only have an iphone 4s for a camera but using a 10 loupe and its smooth surface area in some spots makes it hard.


In hand its much better and considering I got it cheap, I am happy and its one off my want list.

Or any coins at that matter :devil:

 

Well Me and My brothers and sisters divided up silver and coins yesterday from My Parents that past last year. I got a couple nice coins and a whole lot of ASE's. Here is one of My coins.

 

I see I will need to get a box of those for when I book my next werewolf hunt I will be ready.

 

Love her! I'm sure your parents are very happy knowing that you will appreciate this coin and the others they left for you

 

I am one of 149 that do not own this epic short mintage set. to say the lest Schlag engraved so many nice coins + Metals too!!!:thumb:

To answer your first question, cents which are not graded MS, never get a color designation. Yes, I know that there are some oddball entries in the PCGS Population Reports such as a VG-8 MSRD 1909-SVDB and an AG-3 MSRD 1914-D but those are simply mechanicals which PCGS cannot correct until the coins show up for correction or regrades.

To answer the second question, the CAC sticker simply means that John Albanese and his CAC team (that sounds really weird!) agree with PCGS's assigned grade.

CAC stickers coin which are undergraded, in their opinion, with GOLD CAC Beans and had this coin had a Gold Bean, it would have cost a little more wh9ich I would have gladly paid. As it sits, I asked her to let me know when she comes across an AU58 for a trade up. I suppose I should have gone ahead and picked up an MS grade version in possibly a RD or RB but she just did not have any and I wanted to specificly limit this purchase to Charmy.

 

There is also more than one I have seen like these. And I do not think they are "mechanicals".

Went to the local coin store with my son and wife yesterday and he picked this one out for me. It had the P in it which I will post the images shortly. This set ran me $3.00 and very happy with my boys great eye

 

Here is the P for the 1976 P&D Set my son found me yesterday. I can honestly say my imaging has improved.

 

At the coin store yesterday my wife found this cool looking medal that she wanted. I dont have any info on this other than its a NATO medal from 1970. She wanted it so I bought it for her for $3.00. If anyone knows anything about this please let me know.

 

Gonzo, your images are great! Very nice Kennedy Halves!

 

I really like this medal too ! Its from the Franklin Mint Youth for peace 1970 very nice pick up :thumb:

 

Here is one I cherrypicked yesterday. Picked it up for $17.00. The shop owner had it listed as a 1909 VDB Fine Condition and as you can see its a 1909 S Lincoln. I will let you all decide condition but at 17 bucks I think I scored.

 

Yeah I got as far as that on the research but I have no idea about the composition of the coin. I dont believe its silver but I would like to know what it is. Thanks Paddy I will let the wife know you like it. I saw one on eBay for $157.00 she thought she hit the jackpot finding it for $3.00

 

Caz Thank you for the kind words. Been working really hard on my images.

 

e bay prices are all over the map from one ending in an hour with an $9.00 bid to thr $157.00 necklace you saw. I still like its design and well worththe $3.00 you paid.
