@treylxapi47 I will only "like" your post if you actually BUY that coin ;-)

Offer has already been accepted, it's just a matter of working out the payment arrangement at this point.

I am selling a few of my coins to supplement the cash I have, didn't want to go into my pockets that deep. They've got holes in them already from a couple purchases I made last week, lol.

Everything seems to be coming together as planned though , and I expect the coin will be safely in my hands by late next week/early the following week.

Either way, the funds are already secured. I'm just trying to be disciplined in using coin money for coins and not household money for coins.

 

@Times we all have to recoup or aline assets .

 

Here are some recent odd ball pick-ups:

Here's one I picked up on eBay a couple years ago:



I know it's nothing special, but I liked the toning and got it for just $6.36 shipped.

 

1909 VDB 66BN

 

Recent Kennedy pickups.

This one is a real beauty. Amazing pinks and greens.


Not very flashy, but I dig it.


I'm always lovin clad toners. To many new ones to show, here's some of my favs.

 

Picked up some nice Brown Box Ikes.

I'm a little jealous of Winged Liberty. His coin board has so many more filled holes. I only have one after 1983 with color while he only needs 1 or 2.

Thanks for the Coin Board template WL!!

 

This and Wheat cent set are some of the most beautiful and colorful cent set I have seen in 59 years !

 

LOL you both kill me. It is because of you two that I started chasing after toned Lincoln's and both of you are hard to catch up to. Mine start in 1936 because as you now Robec chasing that Mattes is far beyond me lol. Still tryin to catch up though on coins and images lol. Love both of your collection gents.

 

Same for me. Love your guys's collections and the way you display them with the web pages and coin boards.

 

Here's a nicely toned ¼ ounce of silver:


And a 1958-D dime graded MS66 by PCGS:
This was actually my first PCGS coin!

 

I've drooled over that one on CoinFacts for months. Did it recently sell or something?

 

Here's a Frankie I picked up from Shane.




^his pictures^

 

great color

 

Im concerned about the color when its in hand as they are usually a little darker than the photos. Should still be a winner though

 

Shane's pictures are usually spot on, but I think you're right about this coin. I think the toning will be slightly darker than the photo.

 

My first coin I bought from him was what taught me that lesson. It was a high-grade washington quarter and his photo really lit up the nice bright oranges and yellows and a little green toning. When I got the coin in hand it was VERY difficult to replicate that color combination and from most angles the coin just looked dirty, brownish-green, and kind of hazy.

It wasnt anything to hold against anyone, and I ate the tuition on learning that lesson, but it has trained my eye to a certain look in pictures and made me be more mindful of what a toned coin looks like in hand and what it looks like in person.

 

Along that same line, lots of people love their glamour shots of their coins, which is fine, but I also think its nice to have photos that show what the coin typically looks like in hand, especially when you are purchasing them over the internet and only have pictures to rely on.
