1893 Columbian Half Dollar. A common coin in lower grades, but tough in higher grades. And especially tough to find attractive.

 

Beautiful columbus WL, its still my favorite commemorative design.

 

T'was the first commemorative that my father ever showed me. The second one was an Oregon Trail. Got me to be reading my Red Book back then.........plotting, ploying, planning. Loves commem's......

 

I've noticed that as well. A lot of these coins are just black and ugly. Nice pick-up!

 

Hi everyone..just picked these Old Green Holders Morgan MS65 Up last week...what do you think?

 

Hey there, are you related to me? lol

 

For 3 years now I have been going to the PNNA coin show with one thing in mind: Grab me a trade dollar.
The first try, I could not find one I liked enough to purchase. I refined my sights to a PCGS/NGC trade dollar.
The second try, I spent too much money and couldn't afford any I found.
This year, I found one! It was at the end of my day at the show, I scavenged every table looking for a good trade dollar. Most had some problem coins in their cases all with holes, dings and cleanings, all raw. So I passed on those. I narrowed my results to two trade dollars that were both nice, slabbed, and in my price range. I finally pulled the trigger on the following one for what I felt was a good price.


After I picked that one up, I thought I was done, but a little birdie told me to keep looking and I stumbled across this half eagle. A design I have always wanted at a good price.

 

You never know..I see you like Morgans also..those coins are going to CAC to be verified and hopefully a GOLD bean which will give them MS66 status ie double the price..James

 

Like Morgans? I am the original Morgan-lover.

I see green beans, but not necessarily GOLD ones. Just cuz they are OGH coins doesn't guarantee a gold bean. They probably would grade 65+ in today's market, possibly 66.

 

65plus/66...I like how you think..first one maybe an upgrade..2nd one ..I think it's a plus anyways..going to contact CAC tomorrow and see about send in for verification..James
btw..have other Morgans 65 from same collection..not touched in 20 years..sweet!

 

Another coin i've had for awhile now. I got it a few weeks later after my Victoria Crown. I liked the obverse portrait.

 

A few more new Franklins came to me, a 1950, 1950-D, and a 1960

 

That is indeed a nice one.

 

Went to the Denver Mint the other day, here's the blank/cent they give out.

 

I can see what's going to happen now. The blanks will be broken out and sold on eBay as errors.

We'll probably see a few of them here on the Error Coin forum.
