1879-S Morgan Dollar (PCGS MS64). Just bought this tonight. I love color like this -- a nice rainbow, heavy on the green, along with some stunning elevation chromatics -- a hard combination to beat. This is the sellers photo, but with a "levels correction" done in Photoshop trying to compensate for the slab glare. I can't wait to send this off to PCGS for an out-of-the-slab TrueView photo.
Here is a coin ive had for a few months now. One of my goals is to get one domna from each mint and Laodicea was one of them. Still need Emesa and Alexandria, both which can get expensive. Darker in hand. Julia Domna (194 - 217 A.D.) AR Denarius O: IVLIA AVGVSTA, draped bust right. R: CONCO-RDIA, Concordia seated left, patera in extended right, cornucopia in left. Laodicea ad Mare (Latakia, Syria) mint, 196 - 202 A.D. 2.8g 19mm RIC IV 637, Cohen 21
I have bee without a computer for the last 2 weeks and was posting everything using my phone and I see that the CAC picture of my 1972 DDO did not show up very well so here is another picture that shows it much better

. Until I joined CT and started following you I had never seen so many amazingly toned coins of all types. Thanks for sharing them
Here is my newest No wow factor here. Just a plain 64 Ken. This one was pulled from my grandfathers stash. He did not really "collect" or even know much about coins. Although he was smart enough to store back a decent amount of silver in the forms of halves (libs,franklins and Kennedy's) There were silver dollars and misc other cool coins but a thief/robber decided he would take those and all grandma's jewelry a few years ago by busting in there door but that's another story ) all are circulated,worn,common dates......but I picked the best one I could find in the bag....and here it is. .just back from NGC....very happy to see it got a MS 62 Cost more to slab it than it is worth but it's priceless to me.
We like the 1964 Kennedy half dollar . It's shame mint operations were striking full blast MS 65+ are not found much today. hunting 67&68
1926-S Walking Liberty quarter for the 20th C. type set I'm putting together. "Fine" I think. Not US, but also purchased today a $25 Liberia gold coin. Much smaller than an dime and only .73 grams fine gold. And some non-US currency Rob
Here is the reverse side. Some coins almost feel powerful (lack of better word) when in hand. This coin really turn me on for some reason. Also hunting for a while and finally having it in hand is a good feeling.
