I'm neither a penny collector nor a toned coin person, so I decided to break out of that mold and purchase one. To buy a coin to meet both requirements, I felt the Penny Lady would be my best source. This was purchased at the August ANA Money Show and I had Todd from the booth next door, do the photography. I received the photo's last week and finally have posted his results.

I purchased around 30 coins over the last few weeks, but have been so busy that I didnt have time to photograph them and upload them here until now. However, due to the staggering amount of coins I purchased, I decided to just post a few of my favorites.
These three barber dimes I have had for several years and finally decided to send them in. I was happy with the results. I also apologize for the quality of the photos.
I have been buying only bullion lately but the last time I visited one of my local shops they just bought a decent amount of graded stuff and he was selling it back of bid to get rid of it real quick, so I helped take a few things off his hands.
I just got 2 Machin Mills like counterfeit English half pennies, 2 awesome Canadian tokens and an Austrian Kreutzer from 1816. That's a lot of coins from the 1700's and 1800's for not much money!
Picked up this key date Peace Dollar--got it for a "best offer." Very attractive coin in terms of luster, with a light tone, but with enough bag contact marks to make it low grade MS:
1932-D Washington Quarter MS62 PCGS Everybody seemed to like the 1932-S I posted so here's his Big Brother: Enjoy! Best Regards, George
I'd return it. The coin has damage on the reverse--there are significant scratches that makes it a details coin. It shows damage from a cleaning.
How was it represented? As bulk silver coinage, as a collectable coin with a specific grade or from an ungraded roll? There are considerations given to the value and condition depending on how it was sold.
