Let's see your newest acquisitions!

These are not new, I've had these for decades but rarely show them. These are coins from original mint sets I've owned for ever it seems. I have stacks of these mostly 54 & 55 in the old green cardboard mint issued sets. Their fun to look at...I'll call these first two splat as it looks like they got splatted with paint.....DEX

I like this style of toning. I believe there is a term used often for it, but it escapes me right now.
Awesome Dex!

 

Here's another I rarely show. The 1926-D is a tough Buffalo Nickel and hard to find with full reverse details, this one is no exception. It's graded 64 and worthy of it's grade in my opinion as the condition of this piece is outstanding with great eye appeal. The obverse of this piece is as close to proof like as it gets for the date, it's hammered!! Thanks for looking.....DEX.

 

Wow...another awesome Buff toner, Dex!

And Greg, that is a nice one. I thought it was silver until I saw the D.

 

Those are target pennies. Mighty purdy!

 

Here's a link to these Liberty dollars. I picked up two of em the other day.
Here's some images and the story behind these ........DEX

This would be a great design to replace the dime with. Great coin just love that flying eagle

 

Picked this up in a mixed lot of Buffalos on Ebay for my girls new album after cleaning out the local coin shops for needed dates. Coin ended up being much nicer than expected with some die rotation as well, so we will probably find another 1916 P hole filler and set this one aside.

 

Not be a thread hog but with the recent drop in gold/silver picked up many items to share with the thread. Mostly older commemorative (to me anyways) sets that I was a kid when they were first released and missed out on.

 

Couple more due to limit of five pics per post.

 

This is my first early commem.

 

Also picked this up awhile back but just got around to taking pictures

And the last of them.

 

1833 D-1A struck on a cracked planchet

If the cracks had extended any further the coin would have split in two

 

Very nice!

 

And very nice it is. Among my favs in the classic sense. Minerva was such a 'babe'.......

 

I agree, the San Diego has always been one of my favorites commems too. Fantastic obverse design, love the bear and the shield.

 

To me, I got a deal on it. Early commems are usually too expensive for me to even consider. I looked at its condition and looked up the coin on the NGC price guide. It said in MS 60 it's around 95-100.00. I paid 95 for mine. Even if I over payed it's still a wonderful piece. I love it.

 

This ones loaded with errors DDO-001 I still have to finish photos, so here's to ya
