Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Picked up a DANSCO Jefferson Nickel album for one coin in particular (everything before 1964 was circulated, except a couple war nickels) - and here's that gorgeous 1944 D with Full Steps:



Now, when I got home I decided to check the other dates for varieties and found my FIRST 1942 D/Horizontal D in the wild (I paid through the nose for an ANACS VF20 a while ago.)

That 44 looks like you need special sunglasses to look at, love it.

 

This is what $100 bill buys today.
1921 Peace
1924 Peace
2001 silver eagle bullion

 

Won these in a contest put up by @SchwaVB57

Thank you!

1943 Steel Lincolns, a '43 'copper' and a roll of Lincolns to sort through. Cool stuff. For all the coins I have about, the steelies are a first for my collection.

 

Two more proof sets that i happily got from @sonlarson. Very nice sets again.
They don't have the hazy look as some appear to have in the pics, they look near flawless, mirrors with awesome cameo contrast. Once again he gave a great deal, and still has (I think) more awesome mint, and proof sets available. Worth checking out for sure.
(world coins, I know) but since I posted the first two sets here...

 

1830 Half graded XF 45 by NGC. I think some of these fashions have returned.

 

72 DDO-001

 

One Reason you want to go to Gettysburg show...more to follow

 

I'm actually pretty proud of this pickup. I think i got a pretty good price at 12 dollars..
Let me know what you think! I love the circulated color but it still has a lot of good detail.

 

This 3 cent nickel was in the same package as my seated quarter coming back from PCGS. The story from the former owner is that he found it in his pocket change. I told my friendly coin shop owner Dave, that I would be interested in buying it if the other fellow was interested in selling.

He was, and I did! $320.00 out the door. Did I do good?

 

New arrival. My late mother in law immigrated through Ellis Island in 1945.

 

Also scored a couple of barber dimes metal detecting yesterday. They're in rough shape but the price was right.

One looks like someone tried to punch a hole through it but gave up. I also scratched the crap out of it, trying to recover it within a nightmare of tree roots. Otherwise would have been a pretty nice dime.

 

Arrived today after a bit of an auction score. Last year of the series.

 

I bought this one because it was such a steal and I was going to sell it to help fund a different coin or if it wowed me in hand just use it to upgrade my date set. Of course the latter happened and I don't want to get rid of it lol

I don't even care that it's a half point overgraded (it is) it's just got such a great glossy patina (don't know how to describe it but I think morgan collectors know the look I'm talking about) and the colors just pop so well especially the reds. Cool coin.

 

Not a collector of foreign coins but I like this one, and could not pass up the melt + $ 3.00 price tag from my local pawn shop.

 

Can you guess the new set I am starting?
