Let's see your newest acquisitions!

The latest Capped Bust Half Dime. This is the 1829 LM-4, Rarity 3 in PCGS MS-63.

My photo first, PCGS TrueView next. Regardless of photos, a pretty handsome coin, if I do say so myself. An upgrade to the AU-50 that was already in the collection.

Very nice! What's the reverse look like?

 

little specks are on the holder:

 

My only US half dollar. I am super bummed about the tarnish marks, considering it would be in relatively good shape otherwise. It's not rare or worth much by any means, but after the scores and scores of Canadian fifty cent pieces I've had(my dad bought them in scores), it's definitely cool to find one from the States.

 

Tarnish marks happen, and toned coins can be cool. I could have gotten a blast white Kennedy if I wanted, but sometimes character can make an otherwise somewhat common design really stand out.

Some people might look at this one and like it. Some might hate it. But I'm glad I got it. And since it's my latest acquisition it fits.

And no, it's not a proof coin, but that portrait is frosty as hell.

I hope you guys like it a little....

 

Way overpriced. But all of the designs are truly spectacular:

 

I don't get the opportunity to post in the US forum often. But, I have three coins I think you all will like! Two are still in transit, but one arrived today!

As far as US goes, I've always been more of a type collector. The Mercury dime is my favorite 20th century issue and it is a BEAST in proof!



These are the NGC pictures. I don't I could do much better, especially with a proof coin, which always give me trouble.

 

I agree. Proof coins through the "plastic" holders are a pain to photograph. I always get reflections of me or the room I'm in.
Very nice coin. Someone took good care of it.

 

the obverse picture isn't focused as well as it could be. Pics taken outside in sunlight.
