My Birthday!

Yeah yeah, buy what I like, I know.

I have about a 50 dollar limit. I may be able to push 100 if I'm lucky. I have my eyes on a nice flying eagle cent and a few wheats or silver dimes for an album. Any thoughts on what grade I should look for in the flying eagle for 50 dollars? I would also love some other suggestions. I love collecting sets and filling albums. I'm working on Roosevelt, Lincoln and Buffalo nickel sets, so I already have my eyes open for those.

What would you want for YOUR birthday?

Well if its not to much,,,,I would love to have a 1933 Double Eagle for my birthday.

But just off the top of my head I think a very nice flying eagle cent for the money you'll get to spend on a coin and take your time picking one out.

And Happy Birthday ,,,,,

 

An '09 VDB would be nice. Or a BU Mercury (but my girlfriend would steal it ). Most likely a Bust dime since thats next on my list.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

 

For $50, another idea could be a large cent. These are large, impressive looking coins. I liked your idea of a flying eagle cent as well, or even a two cent piece. While "normal" coins are interesting to us, always remember sometimes its good to have some coins that other people find fascinating just to justify your collecting.

Happy Birthday.

 

Happy birthday Hope we get to see what you do decide to purchase

 

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! My birthday isn't til next week, I'm just getting ready I will definitely (I hate spelling that word. I always spend 5 minutes trying different spellings. My computer wants me to say "defiantly") post what I get. I'm excited!

 

Now you have to change your name to SWFourteen?

 

Happy birthday! 3 or 4 1996 w dimes or 1994 satin finish 5c http://www.moderncoinmart.com/cart1/product.php?productid=22521&cat=50&page=1
is what I would do with about $50 to spend

 

my last birthday gift was a MS 1861 seated liberty quarter. its not my first choice of coins i want but my dad got a bargain on it so i wasnt going to be picky. 50 to 100 bucks range? i dont know what to suggest. you can always get some nice morgans cheap. with large cents youd be limited to the later dates. maybe try and fine a nice barber half/quarter or walking liberty half/standing liberty quarter. i think you could get a VF flying eagle for that money or just try to find what looks like the best deal that would add to one of your sets.

 

I think he will have to!

 

you can get one in f to vf for around $50. happy birthday!!

 

Have fun with the money and defiantly (or is that definitely? ) have a marvelous and wonderful day for yourself. I think Medoraman makes an excellent suggestion......

PS: Download Google Chrome (built in spell checker)

 

Nah. The thirteen stands for something else. I'll be 22.

 

Chrome is actually what I use. I guess I'm just a bad speller.

 

Well, it doesn't catch everything but it's especially helpful late at nite when my spelling skills tend to wane.....

 

When using Chrome... When I make a post and want to attach an image, the option to add image 'from computer' doesn't appear. I am only able to use a URL. Is that the same for the rest of the Chrome users?

 

You clicking on the "paper clip" thingy Greg?

 

When I choose 'insert image' :

In IE, I can select from computer:


In Chrome, my only option is a url for the image:


That is why I don't use Chrome for the forum.

 

When replying hit "go advanced" and you should see a paper clip thingy on the toolbar. That's what I use to upload.

 

Ugh, why didn't you tell me this a year ago?

also: sorry for hijacking your thread SWThirteen. And happy birthday!
