beautiful toned Canada 1956 50 cent piece. MS-62 CCCS. paid way more than it's worth, but I had to have it for my toned collection. sellers pics...
And just another reason why I always scope out soap bar slabs at a show. There gold in them there slabs.
That's why I bought it. I'm always on the lookout for a 21 with stunning color. The dealer wanted $120 at long beach so I threw out $80 and feigned disinterest at anything more... He bit
Here are a few recent additions... wide spectrum in this trio. Really getting an appreciation and affinity for toned coins
I've had a surprisingly hard time finding a nice 1944D for my primary set, so I am VERY happy with this pickup. It is 67FB CAC but looks as nice as any 68FB 1944D I've seen. Would like to get a TrueView if I'm ever able to upgrade it to + or 8. I think the dealer already tried to upgrade without success, but maybe I'll have better luck.
A nice 1923 that has a probable Lathe lines obverse though I have not sent it in yet. 1923 Lathe lines by stoneman227, on Flickr
