Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Some of the RPM's known are pretty subtle and difficult to see, much less image. Your first detail pic shows an anomaly - and what looks like an appropriate MM location - possibly indicative of RPM-002, a West D/D. Tough to tell.

Yeah I collect the 38 D MM 's a fun sub set to collect

 

Bought in NGC slab that didn't mention that it was the 9/8 overdate. Not a huge score, but the extra 50 bucks is 50 bucks.

 

I'm going to start purchasing one buff per month. Why not? The buff a month plan.

 

notice they have an inverted 8 also in the date

 

now you need this one

 

Boy that would have made the cover of People magazine.

 

A quick snatch from a Heritage auction

 

Don't have the O-101 (or 103--same obverse die which you have pictured) but I do have this one.
O-102



As I recall (it's been a few years) I bought this one as the standard date as well.

 

My 1819 looks a lot better in hand the image does no justice

 

Not yet. I'm not quite there yet lol.

 

Picked up a 1917 McKinley dollar on a whim. Poor rendition of McKinley and poor iPhone pics. I should have kept saving for a double eagle. Kinda dirty with details. I guess they buried this with him and dug it up.

Thanks Doug Winter-
Coin Description
RARE CIVIL WAR ISSUE PCGS AU50 1862 DOUBLE EAGLE

The 1862 is the rarest regular issue Type One business strike Double Eagle made at this mint. It has gone from being overlooked to arguably one of the most popular 19th century US gold coins and it has multiple levels of demand as a Civil War rarity and a desirable Type One issue. In AU, it is available at a pace of around two or three coins per year (if that) and it is essentially unavailable above AU58.

This example has clearly been lightened but it is still cosmetic due to more than enough luster for the date and grade. As usual, the surfaces are “ticky” but none of these marks is out of keeping, save for a shallow scrape along the jawline of Liberty.

There have been no AU50 examples of the 1862 double eagle sold at auction since the end of 2003. The last three APR’s for AU53′s have been $18,800, $18,800 and $17,625; all three coins were graded by NGC and none were appreciably better than the present PCGS AU50.

The longer you wait to buy an 1862 double eagle, the more you are going to have to pay…this is “opportunity cost” at its most basic!

 

Nice in hand 1866 50c PCGS PF67Cam. Motto

 

I do want a low grade 46-O quarter eagle, because of low survivor rates (PCGS claims 175 to exist!) and low prices (not much more than melt). However in 61 it's a $7000 coin. A real example of a conditional rarity.

 

It's been awhile since my last post....but I just had to share these two beauties! My photos don't do them any justice.

 

Toned Peace dollars are beauties.
And also quite rare.

 

Beauties both. Very hard to get in a straight grade holder tho. But if have still bought them too
