Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Wow. I love those halves. They are so majestic and are truly works of art, unlike some of our current coinage. *cough* nickel *cough* The walking Liberty half and the standing Liberty quarter are two of the most intricate, beautiful coins ever produced. I really love the coins that were introduced in 1916.

Added this one late last year. I do not think I have shown it before. NGC has graded 595 examples with only 3 graded MS67RD

 

I added this one in January. This was one hard coin too come by. Currently it has a NGC population of 18/0 but that is out of over 27,000 examples graded. So after tracking down this coin and buying it I sent to the fellow member to be photographed. It was not until he sent me some photos that I noticed something. He still had the coin so he pulled it out and and looked it over and confirmed what I thought. It turns out this is also a Wexler WDDR-002 doubled die variety. Even in the dual photo you can see it but here is a really nice closeup as well. Thanks Bob

 

Pop 1/1! PCGS PF65BN

 

A "matching" Quarter with similar colors to the 1957 Lincoln above. I pulled this out of a PCI slab.

 

Does the toning make you nervous for MA? Especially coming from a PCI slab? I know you collect colors and would know about the MA of a coin better than most. Just curious

 

i am guessing pcgs wouldnt like it. but who knows, they are all over the map with color.

 

Your opinion is all that matters for your collection, I was just curious. The color looks nice to me, but I dont know all of the intricacies of dealing with toned coins.

 

Nice find. I recently bought a handful of 2009 mint sets and hunted through the pennies. Whatever machinery the mint used to package these sets tended to ding up the rims of the coins more than anything else. In general, most of the coins had very clean devices and fields, but the rims were a bit battered.

 

I won a 2009 set of the lincolns as my door prize at the last club meeting. very sweet

 

Didn't acquire this.. but I want it lol

+1. I also collect what I like, from the humble 1959-1960 penny all the way to Morgans and peace dollars, bullion coins, silver certificates, United States Notes, star notes, foreign coins, and especially silver coins. Most of my collection is circulated, and I'm fine with that. I have a number of BU coins and a few proofs but I like my patinated coins just as much. Some coins like peace dollars and Franklin halves and '40s nickels look especially striking with patina.

 

I'm jealous! A half cent is a coin that I do not yet own, but I really want one. Yours is in excellent condition, patinated a little but with good details, just like I like them and a problem-free coin. A half cent along with a 20 cent piece are two of the coins I desire the most.

 

Just made this purchase on Ebay. Nothing rare,unusual or expensive just pretty.
