Yesterday's show was fantastic....when you walk away spending only $140 on two R-4 Half Dimes. I was so stoked finding an 1832 LM-4 O-3/R-R & an 1835 small date LM-11 O-5 /R-FF. Both coins grade a high VF and both coins would retail for at least $130. plus any premium for being an R-4 ! Small 5 large C
I also picked up this sweet 1952 S Franklin half with a nice purple hue.....which BTW is both an PMDO and a WRPM.
Tentative ID is VAM 75A (AKA VAM 3Z; VAM 3DW) though I cannot see the trippled PLURIBUS or double Profile. But the die cracks match. It is an R6 variety, but I don't know if this means the same thing as it would for Large Cents which would indicate only 13-30 known.
Been busy dealing with family issues as well work. Was in Denver for a few days on business mid- August ....tomorrow on the road again for work. So a lot has been on the back burner..... but Fall around the corner along with some great coin shows. Shoot Gettysburg is next month...
Well it pulls dealers out of the mid west,nor east, and that toned 1839 half dime of mine...purchased from a gent from Austin Tx. Ask the members whom have attended in past years. And a nice time of year to be in an area like Gettysburg. @Seattlite86 , @green18 here's 2 members whom have attended.
Nothing fancy, but I like this series that I came across from Provident metals. So I picked up two ounces
Good to hear from you Paddy; seems like you’re keeping busy. I think it’s a great mid-sized show. If I’m ever in the area, I will go back to that show. It’s where I found my Goetz Lusitania Medal. Definitely a keeper.
Just purchased the top 43D -- I paid WAY too much. Below is my previous 43D, which is actually graded higher. I am going to hang onto both.
I like these too. I like the way they look in copper. I think the art stands out better on them. I ordered three different ones from the series. Should be here later in the week. Nice copper art rounds are a fun little inexpensive side thing I collect.
I just got this one in from eBay (sold by Heritage Auctions) and it is a winner. No one else bid and I got it for $51 which for an 1881-O Morgan is a descent price. But someone at Heritage failed to do their research. This is a VAM 5 - O/O, Right Doubled 1, a Hit List 40 VAM and worth many times the price in my opinion. http://www.1881o.com/5.html I have a number of these already, but a bargain like this is hard to pass up.
Also got this one from the recent Stack’s Bowers auctions at the ANA. Poor fella got overlooked in the big bidding and yours truly committed highway robbery.
