Your most recent coin purchase with photo

Thanks Kent, I almost didn't buy it because of the planchet mark. But, like I said, you just don't see these very often, in fact this is the nicest one I've seen in about 5 years.

Morgan dollar roll...

Found this BU roll of 1904-O Morgans with one missing....and a 1923 Peace Dollar thrown in. They were just too reasonable to pass up.

Sold a roll of 1921s....and added 72 dollars (counting eBay fees for the 21s) to fund this roll. Much nicer to stash this than a bunch of 21s, some of which were cleaned and had minor problems.

Way to go! That's incredible that you got that much for it. Sometimes coin values don't make much sense to me. I can't imagining spending more than a couple hundred bucks for any coin that's been made in the past 40 years when there are so many nice type coins that are much more rare you could pick up instead. Congratulations on the sale.

 

1885-O Morgan MS63

Picked this up on Friday

Common, but I liked the toning on top & this is my first graded dollar

 

My Latest Purchase

Here is my latest ebay bargain. Eventhough it is a 1976-s T1 that had a standard peg leg R in liberty. Look at the small R this one has. Not bad for $5.99 and Free shipping

 

its common but i think rather then make sets i just want a nice specimen of all older u.s. coins.

 

Waiting for this set to arrive. Cleaned....definitely the 21 is....we'll see about the rest when they get here.

Here are the last coins I purchased. I bought all 3 last week:

​

 

I had this before but sold it, I bought it back a few weeks ago, and then cleaned it (waxed and toned, the coin looks better now):

Cr463; Syd 977 - brockage error
Manius Cordius Rufus
AR 17 Denarius
Obverse: RVFVS, owl on cresent helmet
Reverse: Incuse of obverse

This coin is 1 of 2 specimens known!​

stainless

AHHH! DIRT! HELP!!!
Only joking... Congrats on the rare find?

Looks like a nice set, the 1847 appears to be cleaned as well, judging form scans, post some pics via your camera, would love to see em' for what they really are!
Congrats

 

I'll post pictures when this one gets here. My 1850 should be back any day. I was told that it was communicated to my dealer that "it was in quality control" (at NGC) on tuesday.

Flatbed scans are very critical, and while I can see heavy handed polishing on both of the peace dollars, I am not sure on the other 3 coins. I used to sell using scans from a flatbed scanner....so I've seen a bunch of them.

I don't think it would take much wear or cleaning to lose the die crack on the reverse since it's so fine. Here's a close up of another coin produced from the same reverse die, but a little earlier than my specimen.

Since I could not buy at this time the AGB proof I bought the next best thing in silver lol

 

This One a Lincoln Chronicle Set a Bicentenial Coin of Abraham Lincoln in my youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZb-Y1BaUX0
sorry don't have photograph just a film movie right now.

 

My latest. I liked the toning a lot on this. I've had a hard time finding Peace dollars with toning that was anything other than brown or a sludgy yellow/rust. My pics don't do this much justice, but it does capture a little of the golds and magenta. The reverse is mostly bright white except for around the rims where some of the gold is starting to form.

Need some help here. Why do I keep getting "Upload file failed" when I try to upload a photo to a post using the Manage Attachments button. Are my photo sizes too large? If so how do you edit the size down to 250 kb? I have a lot of photos to share but I am lost and technologically challenged.

 

ALF, read this over it may help with the problem you are experiencing.

Here is my lastest purchase. Sorry about the glare.

 

Sunday I purchased A 2002 West Point proof and mint commemeratives, I didn't have those and needed them to for my comm collection - Still work in progress

 

Here's another one I wanted to share. It's kind of hard to see, but this coin has beautiful toning on it.
