Let's see your newest acquisitions!

I love that color purple. I once saw a both sides shiny dark purple proof nickel go for $700 at a Vegas coin show about 10 years ago. great color but I will not shell out that kind of money for it.

No, I wouldn't either. Free is sooooo much better.

 

I ended up getting some money for christmas, most of it went to other hobbies and some car fixes but the rest I put towards this tetradrachm.

I have wanted it for almost a year and after thinking it over and budging the price down a bit, its now mine.

Surprisingly tetradrachms of Claudius arent as rare like his imperials, it's still pretty cool to own though.

What about the rev of this 1862 half dime?

 

Mat, I think Iron Mike would have liked Claudius....

 

Beautiful just like obverse is.
Looks MS 6?

 

Lemon on top, blueberry on the bottom. Quite a contrast of beauty.

 

Got this from a fairly recent Great Collections auction. Didn't have big bucks to spend but didn't want "details" either.

1857 Seated Liberty Quarter




I guess if I was looking for "halfway decent", I LITERALLY got there with a VF35!

She can "sit" with my only other Seated coin...

Nice original. Never be dissapointed with one of those ill buy everyone I come across if the price right. There's alwaysxa ready market

 

Pretty coin! Rare I like a Jefferson nickel but I like this one

 

Was out looking for a mirror to go in the bathroom and found this instead. I can see myself in it.

 

Almost as old as me and in a lot better shape bicentennial baby myself I'd say about vg -8 details repaired right about now

 

Got this one recently. My first colonial purchase.

 

gorgeous toning.

 

Haha, never looked at it like that.

Coins from alexandria during roman rule werent as "refined" as some other territories.

Love the copper, Joe2007

 

I think this one looks awesome for a 65 with some super bold bell lines.




Was sifting through a box of foreign coins at the LCS yesterday and this one just jumped out at me. I don't know anything about the coin but I think the design is really cool, there is so much detail in the eagle, and I like the color a lot.

 

Nice, Russian 1909 10 Kopeks, the CNB below the date stands for St.Petersburg mint

 

Thanks for the info.
