Let's see your newest acquisitions!

That would make a bit better than AG-3 details, rather closer to full AG value, as it is G-4 details with a scratch. For context, half of Greysheet for G-4 is $215, while half of AG-3 is $145, so $70 in your favor.

Technically, since the value is so high, it is a very rare piece even before the mintage figures. The demand of the 1895-O outweighs any mintage number - another plus on your side. Supply and demand will always be more important than mintage.

A very nice scarce MS-64 1924-d Standing Liberty quarter. Simply traded 8 ASEs and a little extra cash.

 

Sweet!!

 

I placed the order Saturday and it arrived today

 

A trio of moderns that I needed for my registry type set.

 

Really like the 1973-D Washington.

I've been buying graded ~MS-65 and better early clad quarters when I can. I like them alot and believe there is future upside too.

I have several that I've bought but have only graded one myself - a 1972-D MS-66+ NGC.

 

I wanted the '73 date as that's my birth year. I thought that it would be easy to find that year in an MS clad coin. Boy, was I wrong. I waited a long time for one to show up. You can also throw any and all price guides to the side if you want a nice one.

 

I still had the same 1964 cent that I’ve had for years. It was included in the partial set I bought that got me started with Lincolns. The fields are a bit beat up and it has dirt spots. This is what it looks like.


I spent about the price guide value to upgrade to an MS66. An interesting note is that there are only 49 MS67’s graded at NGC. For perspective, out of 2,648,575,000 coins, there aren’t enough MS67’s to make up a single roll.



I have an animation, but I have to wait until I crack this out to take a better picture.


Edit: On a personal note, I am pleased to note that my color calibration matches the TrueView / GreatPhoto standards.

 

I’m down to 3 capped bust halves to complete the series. I rarely buy a detailed coin, but the price was too good to pass up on 1 of the final 3.

PCGS VF details, cleaned.

A light old cleaning, that is not too distracting, and has started to tone nicely on the obverse.

 

I wish I could say that this coin is one that I just acquired. Well at least in my dreams. It's so special that I wanted to share it with the group because it's something that we rarely get to see. My LCS shared it with me and I was privileged to actually hold it my hands.
