Post your newest Purchase

Ok everyone, just bear with me as I feel the urge to show off. :mouth: Just wanted to share the coins purchases I made in the month of July. Note: two of these have been resold, one returned (the 1881-S #1) and one hasn't yet been received (the 1879-S). Go ahead and post your most recent acquisition(s)!

Might as well post my August purchases too (so far ). Haven't received any yet but am really looking forward to some of them.

August










Okay I admit it. I bought this one solely for the plastic.


Let's see some of yours!

 

got this one in the mail today..............

oops!

 

Very nice. Mouth is watering.

 

That's a nice one sumorada. Looks like a VAM in that mm, but I can't tell which one. :thumb:

 

Here's the last coin that I bought, just 3 days ago! I sure hope that my wife enjoys her retirement once I'm gone....lol.

 

Hey indianhead,

If you don't mind my asking, how much did that set you back. I am going to be getting one like that or better some time soon.

 

No, I dont mind at all. I got it from L & C Coins for $1325.00. I wanted to make sure that I got one certified and authenticated from one of the best TPGs so I went with PCGS.

 

That is interesting. My last catalog lists it (at least I assume it is the same AU-53 PCGS) at $1425. Have you got an in with them, or do they dicker?

 

Wow, Indianhead!!! That's speakin' MY language there!!!! Very nice!

 

Thanks Mike. I'd love to have a few more of these but I have to compromise with my wife now and take her on a road trip to Dresden, Ohio (Longeberger Basket factory) for her anniversary gift from me.

 

That is a beauty there, indianhead. Great coin at a great price. :thumb:

 

Na, its actually the first time I've bought from them. Their original price was actually $1425 but he said they had a coupon in their latest catalog that gave me the discount and the final price that I paid. They seem like they'd be pretty friendly to deal with on a regular basis.

 

Thanks DJ. I did something that I rarely do when I bought this coin, my rule #1 for buying coins and I broke it this time. I never buy a coin sight unseen.....until now. I dont know what made me do it but a great feeling came over me when I was reading off my bank card numbers to the guy.:smile

 

This is the last coin I bought. Nothing special. The scans don't do it justice though. It looks like there is wear, epecially on the eagle's breast, but I assure you it is an unc coin. Scans suck.

 

Thats a very nice Walker Adam!

 

Nice coins guys. Glad to see you finally picked up that Lincoln key Indianhead.

I just made a recent small purchase out here in Colorado. It's an 1807/6 Large Cent, the common S-273 variety. Although very worn, the date is clear and it is chocolate brown, which matters most to me.

 

That is a nice one. Looks FA02-AG03 to me. :thumb:

 

Nice large cent Shortgapbob. I found one of those when I was a kid in our back yard. I dont remember the date on it, it was faint but it was there. Cant remember whatever happened to it though.
