Very nice Ikes, those are beautiful! Just bought a 1925-S and a 1921-S Lincoln Cents off of Arizona Jack, both in VF, along with a few RPM's. Bought a 27-D Lincoln Cent, VF and nice, RPM#1 and it's also the DDO#1.

I also bought the 3 mercs for a buck each the 2 barber dimes for a $1.50 each and got the 1956 penny in a roll of pennies(actually i got a 55,2x56,2x57) all au. I like the older siver worn a bit like the mercs and the barbers.I think it adds character to them.

 

nice!
My most recent purchase is a 1987 (double dollar) Canadian Proof set.

 

Just purchased....

That really really really BIG batch of wheats and other wonderful coins that were tossed in for the icing-on-the-cake which I purchased from 'budgood' here on CT. This time the icing was greatly surpassed by the discovery of the 1922 plain Lincoln that I posted in the error section.

Sorry folks, I just can't quite put the subject away...:whistle:

haha, 10 months from now:

Jean: a 1922 mercury dime? That reminds me of the time I found a 1922 plain lincoln in Budgoods bags... you guys remember that?
Everyone else in monotone: yes Jean.

5 months later

Jean: What my best coin I found was? Well, there was this one time I purchase a bag from budgood...

 

My latest is an 1869-S Seated Liberty Half Dime, mintage 230,000. I havent recieved it yet though.

 

LOL, nice. :thumb: (Although, I think she deserves to brag a bit. )

Hi Backer,
Those are darn nice Ikes. You got about the highest grade PCGS gives to most coins.
The 2 1/2 dollar gold is gorgeous. A real prize and keeper. The reverse rim, is that an error where the rim seems to be missing?

I think Barbers are nice even if all you can see is that it *is* a Barber. Yours are deifinitely seeable.

The 56 cent is probably nicer than any I have found in any roll.

Say, do you need a super nice 57d Lincoln? Got some very nice ones in recent bu roll. I am happy to share and can send it free of any charge. PM me if you are interested.

The Mercs are very nice. In my opinion they are worth the dollar plus a couple more dollars because they are such a good looking coin from the beginning.

Looks like you are having fun... and that is what is most important in this addictive hobby.

Hmmm, besides about 40lbs of Beef Brisket at a (Great price) $1.29 a lb., I picked up this CBH Dollar.

Hey, Ben:
Nice bustie, and say, that side of beef reminds me of the time Jeankay...........

 

I just bought a 1922, 1934-S and 1935 Peace dollar

 

Kiss my grits

 

I just bought a 5,000 bag of wheat cents from Budgood, it's going to take me a month to go through them all, but in the first handful I found a BU 1934 cent. Real sharp!

 

I wish I could say, but it is one of those purchases I might keep secret for awhile, it was significant, and 213 years old. I just cannot seem to be able to pull the trigger and want to share it.

Yesterday I bought a 1932-D and 1932-S Washington quarter pair. Not full good but the boss gave me a good deal because I found them in his "junk" silver purchase.

Today I picked up a coin from Cyprus for a friend, two old Indian coins, a nice 1932 Washington and nice F12 1913 Barber dime.
He gave those to me since the 16-D Merc I found for him came back from NGC yesterday as a G4.

He's been selling some pretty good stuff to me at or near melt. Free is even better.

 

Bonedigger!
You really know how to hurt a guy/gal with that brisket... tell me, if I left right now, could I get to your place by dinner?

Oh, the coin is nice, too. Really, it is.
