Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Nope you are right, had a few totties that night. All the variants come from the Philly issue.

I caught some crud a couple of weeks ago and haven't felt much like posting or even reviewing my PCGS batch that came back about 3 weeks ago. I'll try and post some more Morgan talk later, if you heathens can tolerate it.

 

I believe in Ancient Alien theories. Does this qualify as a heathen?

 

Erryone knows the the Egyptians didn't build the pyramids. I guess we are all heathens.

 

Post away! I would like to see them.

 

Here is one. Nice coin. However, I think think one will grade AU details, rim damage. Seller knocked off some bucks after I got it in hand and pointed out it didn't show well in photos. It's still a nice coin and didn't pay very much considering date and mint.

 

Here is another somewhat recent get. I honestly don't remember if I've posted this before. Got a few bag marks but not cleaned, might be a slider AU55-MS 61. Got a nasty shiner over the eye but has great luster. Won't know until graded.

 

The dime is from the safe that was in the purser's office on board the SS Central America. The gold dust is from material scattered about the timbers of the wreck.

 

My kind of toned coin.

 

Without the use of lay-a-way there is no way I could have gotten this beauty. It has always been high on my list but they rarely appear on dealer websites at a reasonable price. They do appear fairly regularly on auction sites but after sales tax, buyer premium, and shipping there is close to 40% added to the hammer price. So, I'll be patient and send in my payments and I'll become the custodian of this by the end of June. It is the capstone of my suite of Colonial coins.
