Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Thank you. I figured it would be a fun interesting set to put together.

This one needs Todd's (@blu62vette) camera! Good thing Long Beach is coming up

Think I'll try to polish this slab up. Usually doesn't work with NGC slabs but I heard dremel buffing them can produce good results. Might have to try it.

Very unusual toner. I like her!

 

Of course I like it ...it's an 80 s. Love them 80's Morgans

 

Today I went from owning zero Standing Liberty quarters to five...

All San Francisco minted.

Just a bit of tweaking with the 'white balance' (I think) and all will be fine..........

 

My wife got me this for Christmas (yeah, I know, late with the picture). My camera is on the fritz, so I took the pic with my phone. Sorry for the bad quality.

So here it is, 1831 Capped Bust Half Dime for my type set.

 

Warning these can become habit forming.

 

Purchased today at the LCS. My first gold of any sort. Since I received a cent in the mail at about the same time, I don't know which is my newest acquisition.

 

If your image was jumping one could see if it's a LG S over small s Variety

 

I will post a close-up in the morning. I'll catch it while it's still asleep.

 

Thanks eBay Bucks

 

I don't see anything unusual with the mint mark, except it does look a bit squashed. Of course I don't know what I'm looking for, either.



There is no sign of the overpunched date variety, either.

 

Todd, @blu62vette imaged this one at the Fun show. It turned out really well.

 

My start to my gold type set...

 

I probably paid more than I should have for this Cent. Something said that I needed it for further evaluation. Indians head cents have allways eluded me. Cant tell if it is an improperly mixed alloy or, a bad attempt at whizzing. I had to play with a few verdigris spots also.

 

It may also be a bad attempt at whizzing, but that won't create the Woody you're looking at.

 

Very nice, Busty.

 

I went to my LCS this morning to stock up on a few Canadian maples and also left with this 1848 cent. I don't collect large cents, but it caught my eye for some reason. I guess I may as well start now... It's a slippery slope

 

This lovely arrived today. Joins my 1898-S Liberty $20 gold.
