I once walked around a corner in deep woods in Alaska straight into a full grown bull. It was one of the scariest and simultaneously coolest moments I can remember.

Backed away slowly then ran like hell.

 

Jealous, love Alaska. Such a beautiful place.

 

That reminds me of my Mother's honeymoon story. They went to Yellowstone camping on their honeymoon and she got up early one morning only to be chased back to camp by a moose. My dad always laughed about it but my mom always had a look of terror when recalling it.

 

Not a moose... But appropriate to the West.

The seller says it's AU but after photographing it I am not sure if it is circulated or just a weak strike in some places. That could be a die break from the bottom of the feather to the date.

 

uh?

Lincoln cents?

 

I really liked it!

 

Picked this up today. Had to leave and come back as the seller had a boatload he was selling to my friend's shop. I'm also buying a 1925 double eagle from the seller's collection but didn't have enough funds at the time.

I was planning on buying another modern Eagle and wasn't prepared for the opportunity that presented itself today, got this one for less than a modern double I think.

I'm no expert but it has more eye appeal than the 1925 even though the 1925 is graded MS63, so I took possession of it first.

 

Definitely looks like die breaks to me. One from the feather to the head just below the designed element just above it and a second connecting break from that one to the date mound.

 

Believe it or not after a year collecting this is my first copper pickup. Always loved the look of woodies so grabbed this one:

 

The P mint coin is the toughest of the 3 mints to find with a full strike for the year according to Ron Pope, who has several publications about Buffalo nickels. Even so he also says full strikes are of no real rarity.

 

Nice clashes on this specimen

 

1875-S 20¢


I think it's the "Filled S/S" type. Off to the 7070 she goes.

 

A coin giveaway from LaCointessa. My first Foreign and Ancient coins

 

Awesome, congrats.

 

I've been gone for a while. Hurricanes, not being able to sign into my account, and other technical problems can't stop me lol. It's good to be back. How's everyone been doing? Well I got 2 for you.
1881 O MS 64+, and a nice 1891 S MS 64. Morgans of course.
