Let's see your newest acquisitions!

At the end of August I made another purchase from the same dealer who surprised me with the 1937 and 1937-D Lincolns. It was the 1937-S, and it also became the new coin in my set.

Another 1886 toner:

 

What a reverse! If only the obverse mimicked it...

 

they are practically impossible to capture in a picture isnt it?

 

It's like trying to photograph a mirror straight on without anything reflecting in it!

 

first off latest from GC

second from dbay a proof in the raw

 

Just got this one in hand recently. 1897-O ICG AU55, tough to find at reasonable prices, sellers photos, which look pretty cheesy. In hand it's dripping with original luster, I may possibly attempt a crossover to PCGS. If it slides to AU58, the retail value more than doubles.

 

Well let me start by saying I don't normally buy 10k gold, in fact I didn't own any until right now. I came across a sale on feebay for an 1860 Clark Gruber 10k copy coin so I thought heck if I can get it for spot, I'm in. Turns out that's what happened, so I went to my LCS to have it tested XRF and it's legit 10k gold! Here's some pics, oh and there was a funky looking reverse so I dropped it in jewelry cleaner and blamo, it looks great now!

 

2oz Reverse Proof Libertad

 

In todays mail and the reverse looks like it was struck thru

 

Did that factor into you purchasing it or just a discovery when you got it in hand? I have two struck through Morgans I bought raw. One through grease, the other through wood. I had ANACS put the designation on the slab. They did not charge extra for it.

 

I think I found a rather interesting way to show the mirror on this one. That's my red couch with a tan blanket on it... 15 feet away on the other side of the room!

 

Wow!

 

@Barney McRae
I didn't notice it till it arrived.

 

A 3rd 86 toner. What am I doing??!!!

 

Must be a sickness. I've got 8 graded, oops 9 from MS67 down to AU58. US Mint Philadelphia 1886 must have had gazillions of MS coins stored in bank bags for a century. Anyhoos, she's purdy!

 

I hear ya lol

 

Wasn’t looking for this, but the price was too good. Approaching 65 prices.

It’s a pretty fair grade imo. I do think it looks better than several PCGS MS66 Morgans I have.

 

Got a full book of Washington Quarters (less 32D & 32S, so 76 coins) for $560. And this little number for $26.70. Now it's nothing super rare or anything, but you can't beat the price.
