Coin show pickups!

I had a blast at the coin show yesterday! Took my little brother for his first time to a coin show, and showed him the ropes of haggling Here are some pickups! I'm going to start with the trickiest one to photograph, because I've been trying to get some good shots for hours and I'm not positive but I think that this Nic-a-Date bargain bin 1916 buffalo nickel is a DDO. Very hard to capture!

Do you see what I see? Or am I just seeing what I want to see? Either way, for $1.50 what the heck?

Here's a 1924 S Peace dollar I got for $26

 

Here's a nice red 46D wheat with a cool lamination peel on the reverse. For a buck.

 

Here is a 1927 S Peace dollar. What do you all think for a grade? There's full luster. Is that an S/S? Guess what I paid

 

Here's my first Flying Eagle cent 1858 small letters. What would you grade it? I think I got a great deal, but take a guess what I paid

 

Here was my door prize Everyone just signed a slip of paper, and free prizes were given away! I am happy!

 

Saved the best for last!

I grabbed this large cent for $3 out of the bargain bin. When I dropped my little bro off at Dad's I showed him my take, and he looked at this for a few minutes, then burst out laughing! I just may have found a new avatar! haha! I can't believe that I didn't notice it, and that my Dad DID! Oh, my sides ache from a great laugh after an awesome day at the coin show! Hope this thing isn't too 'offensive' for anyone. How many large........ cents........ did they make like this?

Pretty sure I can make out the bottom of a 'large' 4 and a 0 so I'm thinking this is an 1840 Large Date

 

There were more little piddlies, and a small sack of foreign coins, but I've shared the best! Now...... let's hear it! I'm expecting some interesting comments

 

funny cent wonder how that happened

 

Yeah, not sure how that large cent ended up like that. As offensive as it may be, that would be one of the show pieces of my collection. :devil:

 

Like e'm all, you payed 27 for the peace, and 10 for the eagle

 

with what looks like a fairly harsh cleaning i hope you didnt pay all that much i think it is a high fine low veryfine

 

I saw a cent with the same alteration at a local antique mall. It's not that clever or unique. Just a damaged coin IMO. If you were unable to notice that you probably shouldn't be buying coins.

 

I wonder if the large cent isn't some kind of brothel token.

 

Nice pickups, especially the flying eagle.

 

Dude, what's your problem? All I saw was a dateless large cent for $3. Maybe you shouldn't be spouting off. Keep the negativity to yourself. Jealous much?

 

I'm going to hold off for a few more guesses

How about that buffalo? Anyone?

 

the buffalo with an acid date i would imagine twenty cents

 

I am asking if anyone else sees a DDO. There's only 10 photos, 8 of which are closeups, 4 duplicate photos so I could point out what I think I see. Check 'em out
