Let's see your newest acquisitions!

I was difficult getting accurate photos of these nicely toned Buffalo Nickels, but hopefully, you get the idea. They are in an old "Capital," plastic holder. There are samples from 1934 and every mint inclusive, up to 1937-D.

They look nice. Do you think you could get a better photo? Did you pick them up that way or build it over time?

 

1956 Franklin Type 1 PCGS PR-65

 

I picked it like this. I took several other pictures but the quality is not great. My Nikon digital camera is being fixed at the moment, but when I get her back I can take some serious photos! This may be a little clearer-

 

@Evan8 - see:

1912-S Lincoln Cent (PCGS MS63BN).

 

I give? 63???? I could see 64, but 63? Why!

 

I acquired this Proof 1891 Morgan a few months back. I just wanted to share it! It's the nicest Morgan I have!

 

Thanks thats pretty cool. Good to know what JJJ stands for too.

 

Definitely should be atleast 64. Maybe cause of the die wear showing on the O in ONE it got docked points but still.

 

Not a prayer. I have 67's with weaker O's than that.

 

Pretty coin but the image is hiding the reason for the 63 grade.

 

Ah, the magic of photography versus coin in hand. Couldn't tell ya either way......not in hand.

 

One of these days I might take that class in grading, but certainly it's more art than science. I just buy stuff that I like -- that has eye appeal (at least to my untrained eye).

Looking at the coin in hand, I would have guessed MS64BN, so I suppose it's fairly close to what I was thinking (just a 1 grade difference).

 

Well as i like to say, buy the coin not the slab. Collecting what you like is the only way to collect in my opinion.

 

if your coin is dated 1731 JJJ it is KM#152 German States/Lubeck,
8 schilling (1/4 thaler = 1 orststaler). .625 silver
grade/value
VG-$8.00 F-$16.00 VF-$28.00 XF-$55.00
not sure what your coins grade is ? wait for other opinions...
Krause values may differ from real life values.
very cool 18th century coin.

 

A couple recent newps

 

Are you sure that is a proof?

It really doesn't look like a proof.

 

I would pull them out to check.

Looks like PVC on them
