Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Congrats Geekpryde on your Heritage win. I remember how I felt when I won my first auction there. Now that anticipation starts. Hoping the coin you viewed looks as good or better in hand!!! I still get excited everytime I win a coin at auction.

WARNING: Be careful as Heritage offers excellent coins every week and viewing them is addicting. So is pressing the little buttons labled "Place Bid" & "Confirm Bid"!

At Heritage bidden can up fast,bidding wars are easy to get in to.
But that's a nice grade 2c + Gem variety

 

Been avoiding it for a while I tend to end up broke when I spend too much time there I get some really pretty coins in trade tho

 

I was able to get some imaging lessons from GBroke last week and although we are not quite done with the lesson I am already applying what he has taught me to my imaging. So here are a few pics of my newest coins hope you enjoy.

This Lib Commem was a gift from a good friend of mine.


I picked up this Constitution Commem Proof with the Cert of Auth and original Mint packaging for $22.50 which with the beautiful colors it has on the Rev I could not pass up.

 

Doubt any things safe with my passions early dollars trade dollars draped bust and flowing hair coins and large size copper

 

By the way I'm gonna be back with a vengeance posting on this thread once I get home. I got a lotta stuff bought but not in hand yet

 

Here is another MS 58----AU 61 coin. I thought it was awfully close either way











Here is what PCGS called it, and I agree, as there's a tiny bit of rub. Then again, I have seen far worse looking MS 61-62s

 

A 58 will pretty much always look batter than a 60, 61, 62, and sometimes 63.

 

Nice coins guys.

 

I'll just leave this here!

New Charlotte $5 & CAL Quarter Eagle(click!)

Let me say that by no means is there likely to be any new info to anyone here in the link, but I haven't seen a CAL coin in the flesh (as it were) in a long time and I couldn't help but tell an abridged version of its story! Coin Nerd Pride!

 

Plenty of new stuff for me Great write up, thanks Amanda

Mike

 

I agree with mike, I enjoyed it.

 

This one pails in comparison with the beauties posted on here but price wise I have em all beat. I found this in the reject bin of the CoinStar machine today. I know the picture isn't very good but I think she grades EF40 and for a find that's a bargain.

 

Nice find!!

Hello beautiful!! I'd take either one any day any time I've never seen a cal quarter eagle in the flesh!! 2 incredible coins!!

 

I almost keeled over when he said "I think I've got a CAL around here somewhere ..." all casually. Oh, Uncle Mal!

Just got the pcgs results back on these 2 both found raw the $5 from a locked box found in a friends attic the other from a Maine estate auction very happy with the grades

 

Au 55 on the $5 I thought a 45-50 and vf-30 on the half I figured it at vf-20
