Let's see your newest acquisitions!

I knew I wasn't the only one who would be enamored with the Trader Bea Purple Core slabs. Its okay, you take the full steppers and I will look for the high grades and varieties. Snagged this undesignated 1944-D/D FS-501 on Great Collections last night.



I started my registry set a while back, my 5th war nickel registry set, I call it Lehigh's Bees.

Lehigh's Bees

Most of the war nickels I see in the Trader Bea Purple is common gem grade stuff, I am really hoping that they up their quality and get some MS67s going.

I've seen a lot of 66 and 67 on the bay but not fs and if they are fs people wanting $300 or so.

 

This 1953 S graded Ms 66 older pcgs slab, do you believe it would get FS designation? Kind of stupid question, it should be reading up more on step grading criteria , and I'll do that now I think. Its one of the better ones I've found on the bay. I'm quite surprised it got that high of a grade given the weak strikes.im still a noob some series I'm better on some than others,, not really good In any.

 

I just added these two lovelies, for no reason other than I liked them. I was never big on Barber coinage but I find my opinion is changing.

Nice show today, mintage of 15,000

 

This is one of a few things I have gotten on GreatCollections tonight.


I think it's really good for the grade, mainly held back from a higher grade because of the nicks on the obverse.

Greysheet is $225, and I paid $226.60, which hopefully won't be considered going overboard, seen as how the most recent auction sale for a coin like this was $276 at Heritage on September 9th. It is, though, the most expensive copper coin I've ever bought.

 

Here’s the pieces I picked up at a coin show in Fargo, ND yesterday;
