Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Couple of new IHC's. Nothing special really. I don't collect them, but the price was right. They appear to be AU or Bu. I really don't know.

Good to see you back Greg!!

 

Here is my bargain Gallienus I picked up for $12 awhile ago. I only got it at first cause I liked the temple reverse, toning and it was going cheap. Considering he is my favorite emperor this is my only second coin of him.

Day after it arrived I looked at it more and saw it was a die clash on the reverse, which made me happier since they are my favorite errors.

Reverse Die Clash

 

I thought this had an eye appealing look to it ...

 

I got this 64 Kennedy off of ebay the other day, it jumped out at me.... I can't say whether it's natural toning or AT but I do like it. One of few "rainbow" 64s I own

 

End of roll toning

 

Looks good to me.

 

Thanks.... that's what I was hoping for...

 

For my type set.

 

Do you have a picture of the other side?

 

Here are my pics of my new pick ups

Joe, when you say "unopened" I'm sure you mean they were never opened by you. The 66 and 67 SMS holders are easy to crack open and swap coins out of and then reseal. It's done all the time. So for anyone to tout that any SMS set is sealed and never been opened is, to say it nicely, not true. The only way to guarantee an SMS set to be sealed is to purchase a sealed box of these sets. I would venture to say that even the 65's you see that say they're unopened were sealed post box opening to try and get part of the premium back for sets that didn't quite make the quality of what they wanted. You see the 65's were not sealed prior to placing in the boxes. On a rare occasion there are single 65's which were sealed but these are the ones that customers purchased singly and were shipped with the envelope as the mailing envelope. These are easy to discern as there will be a shipping label on the package. I hope this made sense.

 

Was at a coin club meet, got to pick out a 1928 S Cent from a dealer's roll. Got lucky - just happened to pick out a Large S!

 

About once a week, I go through CoinFacts, 1909-1958 1C BN. I've noticed the last 2-3 weeks there have been many new additions, including this one. Glad it's yours, it looks remarkable.

 

I've got a bunch of 1956 and 1958 Washingtons, but I always enjoy their color palette(s). Here are a couple raw ones I picked up a while ago. Images by Bob Campbell and I think he did an excellent job.

 

Saw this coin on ebay. Could tell it was toned. The pic was a little dark, so i couldn't tell the brilliance of the toning. Am pleased with the final result.

 

This one came in last week, the first PCI graded coin I've owned! It is undergraded IMHO...by at least 1 point, maybe 2. The reverse is super impressive. I wasn't sure how the slab would look and feel in person and I like it, very cool!

 

toned 1961 proofs I just got in the mail. These are the seller's photos, I have a terrible time photographing proof coins...
