My new Bustie.

 

1936 Satin Proof Lincoln (PCGS PR64RB). Really hard to find nicely toned. This is about as smooth as they come.

 

Another recent pick up from Mr. Fortin. An 1858-O. I love honest wear like this. Truly original.

 

This just in

 

Only the second piece of gold I've found since the drop without a premium and the first sovereign I've owned that wasn't minted in Australia.

 

Picked this up for the wife today....

(She loves elephants)

 

Nothing special but thought it was neat to have such a nice 1967 given to me in change today. To bad I'm not good at taking photos.

 

Here's some new acquisitions.

Proof Merc




Key date wheatie




Both are sellers pictures.

 

You don't see many 1967 quarters like that anymore.

 

Thats what I was thinking, I just wish i could take a good photo of it.

 

Treylxapi, You've been buying a lot of very nice stuff lately but i have to admit that proof merc is probably my favorite.

 

Thanks!

I've been on a little proof binge here lately and this one and the IHC popped up at the right time. I'm only in both coins for a total of $180 or so cash out of pocket.

That 31-s came from trading some extra quarters from the set (I had 6 1955-P's) and few dimes and nickels I no longer wanted. So minimal cash out of hand there also.

It's all about leveraging different things and actively looking for deals in your collecting area.

Not to mention it just seems like a down market at the moment and things are consistently selling below 'book' values by a good margin.

All of this works out to me building a nice collection and continuing to grow what I have.

 

Here's the proof IHC in case you missed the original posting.

 

Nice! I like that IHC proof!

 

Ok, my turn! I'm really excited about this coin. Pictures courtesy of gbroke.
