Let's see your newest acquisitions!

I found this on Ebay, 40 watchers in 24 hours, one of them being me. At $11, I was the first to pull the plug and buy it. It bids at $18 in AG.

@The Half Dime I paid $22.00 for it.

 

That coin honestly does look cool, for some reason I love the look of most counterfeits. I feel like a lot of people overlook them because they're counterfeit, but also overlook that some counterfeits, like contemporaries or Henning nickels, can be worth big bucks.

 

The ones that are really cool are the counterfeits that are cheap and actually silver. Who is the joke on at that point?

 

I like getting ones that contain a minute, but actually measurable, amount of gold. I have a few of the gold Buffalo tribute proofs, which contain 14 milligrams of gold and melt for around $2.25 each, and I also have a 6-coin set from the National Collector's Mint that contains 90 milligrams, or about $14.50 in gold. I paid $10 for the 90 milligram set.

 

She’s in and settled nicely with her kin:

 

Just got my latest purchase in hand. 1886P Vam 1-C, raw coin I purchased last week. Photos from seller are not great, but when I opened it today, looks like it could go MS66. It will be sent out for grading to PCGS. Coin in hand looks much better than these sketchy photos. I took a chance on it. Got it for not a lot more than melt. It will be my latest addition to my collection of 86 VAM1-Cs. This will be my#6 of this VAM.

 

long time no posts or new coins, but here i have the second to last quarter to complete a ngc proof set. a nice looking older strike that been admired in hand alot.
and it was cheap.
