Money for nothin' (and your chicks for free)?

 

Just got this trade dollar, it's my first NGC graded coin!

 

That trade dollar is a beautiful example of why coins do not always need to be MS to be nice. Good pickup.

 

Carson City

Got this in today, Love those old type coins.

Would you grade it a fair ?

 

truthfuly i can not answer that but i suggest you pose that question in a seperate thread

 

One of my recent pickups

 

Picked up 4 books at an antique mall last weekend. A 1955 (8th Edition), 1964 (17th Edition) & 1970 (23rd Edition) issues of the Guidebook to United States Coins....aka....The Red Book. Also got a 1954 (11th Edition) of the Handbook of United States Coins with Premium List...aka...The Blue Book. The 1970 Red Book was $1.00, the others were $2.00.

The Blue Book was stamped 9 times by Chicago coin dealer Bill Mertes.

 

Got this on eBay



Got this on eBay the other day...for only $83 which is about what they go for...I've seen some others priced around $105...

 

Just picked up this nice 1897-P Morgan

 

The new twins

I Picked up this pair of 1937 Buffalo's PCGS MS66. Look like twins!

 

A few super 61 proof coins, courtesy of Coin Dexter, to go along with the sweet 60 proof won this week..

Newest ancient to my set. This one is one of the rarest reverse for this particular empress.

Now I only need 3 for this particular lady and I will be done.

Still have 7 to go on the other empress though


Crispina (178 - 182 .D.)
AR Denarius
O: CRISPINA AVGVSTA, draped bust right.
R: DIS GENITABILIS, lighted altar.
17.5mm
3.15g
RSC 15

Apparently commemorating an altar dedicated by the empress in hope of or thanks for a blessing of fecundity from the dii genitales.

 

Way more than fair. I would say lower fine details.

 

Just back from grading. From a group of 12 Lincoln proofs either raw or in other 3rd party slabs with instructions for PCGS to crack out and grade as raw. All passed, a few with better results than expected.

NGC MS-66

 

Sweet cmcart, thats a beautiful coin, I'm sure its even better in hand! To anyone here - Is the difference between Proof Like and Deep Mirror Proof Like obvious?

Coin dexter - haha, that picture reminds me of that State Farm commercial where those two guys are in the car and that buffalo attacks them.
