Let's see your newest acquisitions!

I feel this is one of the few hard time tokens that adresses a lot of different issues during the hard times. It doesn't focus on just jackson, but it does still have him in it, which i like.

Awsome!

 

Not sure how you figured the silver content is pretty much equal to $25.

Melt value is about $11.21 as I write this.

Regardless of silver content it's a very attractive Kennedy.

 

That Barber's got fantastic eye-appeal!

 

Ha ha ha! The price was definitely right John!

 

I also got this nice no-line fatty with a green label for my slab type set. I really like it.

 

The "Brown Beauty" came in yesterday:

 

Hello brg5658, I made a GIF animation showing a straight on view transitioning to a tipped view of the front and back. This is the best I can do to show all the "looks" of this wild toner. The animation is made up of 4 shots of the obverse, and 2 shots of the reverse. You can clearly see from the color of the label, that I played no tricks with saturation or color balance. These are actually completely raw photos of the coin in indirect sunlight (using my iPhone, hand held) -- the only change between the images is the tipped angle of the slab.

In terms of your comment that the TrueView photo was "hilariously over-saturated and magical" -- if you compare the max color view of this coin from my raw iPhone photos with the PCGS TrueView photo at the bottom -- you will see a pretty good match.

 

Your forgetting that he said complete P mint set '1964' which includes also a 90% silver quarter and dime I think he added there melt value into his equation also.

 

The whole reason to have a photograph of a colorful coin is to show the colors. I want to see what I paid for.
I can attest to the fact that these photos aren't juiced or artificially enhanced.

The coin has many different looks in relation to how the light hits it. This look is but one of them. It could very easily have a different look showing little or no color, but as colorful toner lovers, this is the look WL, myself and many others prefer.

No one photo will show off all the characteristics a coin has. This shows the color characteristic, or at least a portion. There are probably some still hidden.

 

I am not sure how many folks will appreciate this half I bought last week.
Lance.

 

I can appreciate it!

Nice pick up.

PCGS?

XF-40?

possibly better.

 

Cool gifs, WL. That should become a trend for selling toned coins.

 

Yes, PCGS XF45. It was part of Dick Graham's collection that was sold last week at FUN. I've been trying to cherry pick one for 5 years. I gave up and just bought it.

Won this proof for just under $10 last week. These are the sellers pic I hope to send this one to Robec for better imaging.

Won this one last night off of eBay. Didnt really know there was a sniper out there watching the same ones and lost two other I was watching but I managed to snipe this one from him at the last 5 seconds after he attempted to snipe me. Guess its time to put my military tactics to use in eBay lol.:thumb:

 

Looks like Lincoln just left the theater.

 

My kind of coin lol and if that was true then he can wear the same combat patch I wear which is the 101st Air Borne. Speaking of that does anyone here know the name of the eagle on the 101st Patch? If you dont I will tall you.

 

I know the 101st were called the screaming eagles. Is that the patch name as well?
