Its about that time for a new year again. Look back at your favorite purchase(s) Fortunately I bought a load of coins so I have a few top picks. I got all these RAW 1903 Kirin 20 Cash(es) I have a thing for the China Mis-spelled coins PCGSXF45 1857 Plain Trident 1D PCGS MS64 1858/7 1/2D PCGS MS63 1752 1/2D PCGS AU58 Seller had horrible pictures so I got just above 100$. really thought it should hit 60 1882-H 1D PCGS MS62 Who can resist the Heaton Mint Coins. 1900-H 10 Cent PCGS MS64 1799 1/2D PCGS MS65RB got this for 55$ 1797 2D PCGS AU55 Really hard to find not with a lot of rim damage. Lastly, 1775 1/2D Bought in a AU58 NGC holder really thought it should be a MS60 Sent in RAW came back PCGS MS62.
sure I don't see why not. I don't buy many US coins but I had one special for this year. I got it for 322$ in a NNC plastic but it looked good and had good luck in past with the seller. So I bought it and cracked it out. Came back PCGS MS62.
Got these from a friend in Maine. Joshua Chamberlain at Gettysburg would concur. Lovely, but not from the State of Maine. Glad my mentor is.....
They were a very special Christmas gift from a very esteemed member who will remain anonymous. But his name is Bill.........
here are my favorite world coins of the year... and my most favorite.. if you're not familiar with these, here's why...thick, cool edge... and BIG!
My favorite in the non-US category was an 1830 Italy 5 Lira that started my world crown set. (sorry, no pics yet)
I'd really like to see that. this started my collecting back in 2001 but now I mostly collect world coins. got in in change and didn't get it graded until last april.
Nice Sardinian crown With so many fakes of this type on the market now, it's really cool to see a nice original example that had actually circulated.
Kingdom of Hannover. I bought this coin in Prague last august. It isn't only nice coin. It is a reminiscing about my European journey too.
Here's one, its a 1970-D Washington Quarter missing the clad layer ( Reverse ) . Great deal for 85 bucks ...
These are 3 of my favorite purchases from this last year. i took a break for a few months, and just starting to buy again. First, Kutch State, 5 Kori.
