Metal detecting I stumbled onto this 1864 2 cent’er. Pictures don’t do it justice because a great amount of detail is still there.
These Capital Plastics holders are fun to work with. There are easier things to photograph, though.....
Sometimes a coin is just exciting to have. This photo still doesn’t do justice to the beautiful golden toning. And it doesn’t hurt to snag it from eBay for a bargain price. If I get any closer with the photos I will update this post later. Edit: I have replaced the image. The previous one was a bit darker but this is closer to the lighter warm golden glow that is visible in hand.
More and more this thread as well others are being used by dealers to promote their inventories than post what is supposed to be posted here...."YOUR" new acquisitions not your newest" inventory! "You aquired for sale! And posting here to advertise! There is a for sale section just for that porpose.....there are other members here who are also dealers who do not exploit the rules by posting their ads in the main forums threads. I find this very annoying as well as unfair to other dealers whom don't use this forum as a for sale sign for their business!
I just found my second W quarter, this one in a bank roll. It did stand out looking at the edges. Unfortunately it is the same as the other one I found.
I'm glad you all approve of the Bust Half, details coins can be sketchy, but that one's nicer in hand. Here's a new birthday addition to my physical 7070. In a Blanchard slab, whatever that is. I liked the toning and the amazing likeness of Lee. Here are too many pictures. Many scratches on the slab.
Found my third W quarter this week, unlike the other two, this one was found in a vending machine return slot.
Recovering at home from surgery . . . I've a little time to post some newps in between checking work emails. Here's a really cool woodgrain Buffalo toned in orange and blue . . . And a prooflike 1873 Open 3 Quarter Eagle. BU, but with hairlines in the fields . . . A 1917-D Rev Walker . . .
Here's a near gem mint state 1852 $1 Gold . . . A very scarce 1873 Quad Stripes Half Dollar in XF . . . And a very original, full gem mint state 1912 $10 Indian. Much netter in hand than in photos . . .
I actually like the $10 better than the $1, but it's difficult to tell why from my photos. The $10 is a VERY nice coin.
