Wow Outstanding coins

 

1896 Morgan Dollar (PCGS MS65). About as beautiful and colorful as Morgans come! You can pick out almost every color of the rainbow. There is just a lot to like about this one: a fairly clean cheek, silky smooth color transitions, lava-like elevation chromatics, and full rainbow color. This is a bit of a color rarity for Morgans dated in the 1890's as fewer from those years were stored in bags in banks vaults. It might be the most eye-appealing colorful 1896 Morgan's I've ever seen.

 

Stunning color on that one!

 

Alternate Shot (Photo). This was an alternate shot done by Phil Arnold at PCGS TrueView. A bit more lighting (and more even lighting), which brought out more color -- but it doesn't showcase as much gloss or luster as the photo above. The photo above has a bit more (what's the word?) ... drama. But each image has it's own merits. This is a case where I wish PCGS TrueView offered a primary and alternate TrueView photo in their official database (well at least I have a copy of it for posting). There is no argument that this is just one beautiful (no, gorgeous) 120 year old lady!

 

OMG gorgeous color. my eyes went huge and jaw just hit the floor. wow! envy is thee word.

 

A circulated Transylvanian 2 Ducat:

 

Sorry for the rudimentary cell phone pics. This coin is about as perfect of a Fine 01-S that I have seen. This came from a complete raw F/VF collection that Brian Greer recently acquired.

 

some love tokens i picked up over the weekend...

 

Awesome new purchases everyone! Some really beautiful pieces....I especially like the gold 2 Ducat piece :-o

Here is my latest buy.....I wasn't 100% sure what I was getting from the eBay listing, but had a good hunch. Very pleased with it, old no-line holder and I think this one is a solid example for the grade.

Terrific pick up!
Congrats

yes, MD

 

That's a nice one!

 

I just ordered these half dollars and haven't received them yet. Sellers' pictures.

1969-S NGC PF66 proof. I wanted this one because I didn't have a 40% silver proof.




1964 NGC MS64. I'm waiting until I have the coin in hand to see if the toning is as nice as it looks in the picture. It looks very nice in the photo. If the toning turns out to be as nice as it looks in the photograph, is $23 a bad deal? I am not an expert on toned coins and I really don't know their value above or below white coins.

 

This one just came to me today, a nice 64 toner

 

Nice.

Please don't do this to me. I need to sleep and also stay financially stable.

 

On the 1948, it says "5 steps". They must be counting the porch top (I forget its technical term), as a step. Otherwise I see only 4 steps which are full. I count the incuse lines. Am I wrong here??

 

Ahh, the term is "stylobate", the "deck" which the columns are standing upon, or rather that upon which their plinth's are resting.

 

Them step are nice.
