Awesome Coin Buys!

hi everybody! me and my mom went to a town gathering this evening where there are food, rides, and vendors. we first started looking at the vendors. nothing special at first, but we got up to a booth where this guy was putting turkey feathers in a picture frame, and he put a indian head cent, a dateless buffalo, and a sac dollar right next to it. it sounds odd, but it was neat. anyway, i saw the coins, picked up the frame, and started looking at the coins inside. there were about 5 frames, so i looked at every coin inside. nothing special, just a 2000P sac, dateless buffalo, and a 1907 cent inside each one. he asked my mom if i liked coins, and she said i was a collector. he said are you interested in buying? i said yes, and he pulled a bunch of coins from his bag. there wasn't much, just alot of stuff i needed! so i looked through it all, and found what i wanted. he said he had a bunch more at home, but he had nobody to watch his tent. his wife said he had to sell all of his coins too. so i bought a americana series coin set thing in a plastic display case. it came with a 1905 indian head cent, 1905 liberty nickel, 1912S half, 1907O quarter, and a 1912D dime. i got this for $20. i got a 1883 no cents v nickel for $5, 1909 dime for $2, 1912D dime for $2, 1916 dime for $2, 1913 ? dime for 50 cents!, a 1911D dime for $2, 1895 half for $9, 1896,1883,1898,1894,1887,1885,and 1890 indian head cents for $23 for the lot, a 1915,1893, and a blank quarter whitman blue holder for $5. he had that marked up to $8, but sold it to me for $5.

thanks for looking!:eating:

 

I'd say you loaded up. Nice old stuff...

 

Very Nice!! I love the 1893 quarter

 

The quarter really caught my eye too.

An old Americana set? If it's what I'm thinking of those go back to when I was much younger than you are now.
You used to be able to buy those from the Sears Christman catalogue. I still have The President hanging on my wall.

Was a gift from my mother when I was 13 or 14. All BU coin with the Lincoln, Jefferson and Roosevelt being 1975 and the Half, Ike and Quarter being Bi-Centennials.

A big framed holder with a large Presidential seal. Just don't see too many of those anymore.

Nice haul Coinlover.

Looks like we all noticed how nice this one was. Nice dark toning.

 

Very nice coins. Enjoy them.

 

I'd say that 1893 is at least a VF and worth minimum $30, could you post some bigger pictures of it?

 

this is the best i can do with this scanner.

That is a fabulous VF-30 IMO, without the digs in the face there in front of the ear I would say XF-40, but still an very very nice coin, I'm green with envy here.

 

That's a great Barber Quarter. Nice find!

 

thanks everyone! so its a $35 coin?! pretty good investment considering i paid $2.50 for it!:kewl:
