Ok I did some serious damage at a local auction. Sellers pics were awful but I looked at all this stuff in hand 1804 spiked chin is nice. Good even chocolate brown surfaces solid vf. The other 04 is a beater
07/6 is actually nice even chocolate brown in hand. A fair amount of contact marks but nothing that will prevent a straight vf grade. The 02 is rough. But I bought them reasonable cause of the bad pics
These are so much nicer in hand. Original skin on all. Much better surfaces and color than in pics. I’ll attribute when I get them. The 61 seated is scratched and of no real consequence
Love this lot. They’re all good surfaces but the51 and verdicare may help it. I have some still. The 35 is au 58. And the 1800 is just nice. Pics awful sellers pics
And I bought this. Amazingly the only complete set I’ve ever had in close to 40 years of numismatics lol. Going to start a separate thread on it
I’m really building my inventory up when shows start again. I’ve been buying a lot of decent coins lately not through the major channels where it’s been tough to buy. Have a couple big grading orders to get together but I’m finally feeling like I got a really solid inventory again which I hadn’t had in a few years
Got my Salt River Bay W Quarter in. Man, this one has killer luster. Will go into the 3rd slot for this year:
