Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Correct, I never let CT host it. All my images come off my site.

I use photobucket. Plenty big enough storage for my needs.

 

Newest type set pick up. It's in a PCGS holder, MS62.

 

1866 3cent

OK, just finished imaging and cropping these three that came today. They are Heraldic Art Medals for my horse-themed set!

 

So the coin says 1972 and the slab says 71. Was it like a 1976 bicentennial? Let out a year early?

 

Nope. It is 1972. NGC labeled it wrong.

 

The problem with Photobucket becomes apparent when posting colorful toners. They don't post in high resolution. The bright colors become watered down.

That's where the term "Buy the coin, not the slab" comes to play. Beautiful coin.

 

And again.

 

Now I wonder what my toners on PB would look like elsewhere... hm.

 

I got some lovely peace dollars! :3 You can't see it too well in the pictures, but the 1922 has an AMAZING cartwheel luster to it. Absolutely gorgeous, way better than I expected when I bought it.



The 1923 has slightly more details and has a decent luster, but nothing like what the 1922 has. Seriously in love with the 1922.



And this! 1881 $5 gold piece. Palindrome date!

 

Wow!! How did you do that!

 

I tilted the halogen light very close to the coin. I nearly blinded myself in the possess.

 

Great mirror effect on that!

 

I love it when you can see luster so clearly (like on that 1950 Franklin) ... nice.

 

New but a Yard sale find for $3.00+ free cud that was damaged more as the years rolled on.:kewl:
