@Skyman I happy you liked the MOOSE, as far as the Kennedy Que Sera Sera.

 

Surprisingly it took me some time to find these but not an extremely long time. I am working on the 70s now I have to put them together and see which ones Iam missing . Now 40s I have only 2 and 50s about 3. None before 40s at this moment . Thanks for the comments

 

I’m not a lowball collector but sometimes I just can’t leave a very well worn coin behind.

 

My images

 

I see hairlines all over the obverse running across the fields up and over the devices.

 

Nice find today at a small show...I picked up this 1837 H-10 I like to call it an VF 37.5 as it's not quite an XF but depending on what devices you're looking at it teeters back and forth between Vf and Xf in grade.
I'm very pleased as this one is the small straight date variety of the 37 seated Liberty half dime, a variety I did not have as of yet.
It is an Valentine # 5 B
The straight date 1 has no peak at the top ,1 has rounded serifs on top and bottom. The bottom right serif on 1 is shorter than left.top loop of 8 is smaller than bottom loop.Smaller thin 3 knobs father apart less distinction on 7.
37 curved date
1 has top peak slopes to left ,1 has distinct serifs on top and bottom,bottom right serif is longer,top anbottom loops of the 8 are same size .
The 3 is wilder knobs closer together more distinct outline of 7.


The curve date specimen above is also an RPD-001 1837/1837/8 that also an MPD. Notice the base of the 7 as well the 8's loop below the 8

 

I was thinking ....it maybe a fun thread to see who can pick out all the differences in design ,besides the date on these 2 1837 seated half dimes .
It also crossed my mind if the public ever took notice, and wonder if they were counterfeit coinage. Probably not as in this time frame 5 cents was a lot of money.

 

My son went with me to the coin show today. I give him the responsibility of picking a Morgan for the date set. Before we go in, I tell him cherrypick a MS63, for a consistent date set. We agreed the set would be MS63. He picked I paid. I am a bad parent and didn't tell him no.

 

Nice pick

 

Another coin I picked up at the coin show Saturday. I have bought a few coins from this particular dealer. He has sold me some nice coins for really good prices. As a matter of fact my avatar is the last coin I bought from him.

 

I picked up a couple of proof sets yesterday. The story behind them is that they have been sitting in a collection for at least the last 40 years. Some of the Morgan's were still in envelopes from when they were bought. They had not moved in so long that the seam of the envelope toned a line down the obverse. I didn't get to see them unfortunately.

1953 in a Capital Plastics Holder


1954 Also in a Capital Plastics Holder. The nickel just blew me away on this one.

 

Just picked up this bad boy, sellers images used with his permission of course.

 

So, an old man walks into a store...

He came in Wednesday to buy a cup of coffee with a hand full of change. To my surprise it included 3 silver quarters (2 1964 and 1 1961) and 1 silver dime (1964). Later I also got a 1962 dime.


Thursday he comes in for another cup of coffee and pays with 3 silver quarters (again 2 1964 and one 1961) and 3 dimes (2 1964 and 1 1962)


He came in today for another cup of coffee, this time 4 silver 1964 quarters and 6 dimes (3 1964, 1 1962, 1 1951 and 1 1947)


Then later tonight on my other job I got a 2017 clad proof quarter and what looks like a 1962 proof dime



It was a good week for retail! Now hopefully he comes back tomorrow!

 

Nice coin

 

Are you waiting to complete a dansco before you tell the guy he's paying in silver?

 

Oh that's just cold....but I like it

 

Right or wrong, I usually suspect either stolen coins or inherited coins by ignorant heirs.

In either event, they are still the currency of the land and valid as payment for all debts, public and private.

ps My knowledge is worth something so I don't feel too guilty about extracting value from the market because of the efforts I've made to educate myself. I'm always available to those who would choose to obtain that knowledge as well.
