I didn't think I had a chance with this one, but I actually paid $3 less for it than my snipe... $47.00.

 

Your images are really looking nice!! Nice pick up too.

 

Is that damage on the reverse or is that a large peeled lamination?

 

$35


....replacing what my wife dubbed "The Melting Lady" in my 7070:



So long, Melting Lady....it's been real.

 

This was 15 cents! Has silver in it. LCS bargain bin!

 

1952 Proof Washington Quarter
"Superbird"​

(I'm guessing this would be a "late die state, but before they re-engraved the tail feathers" coin. The S is visible through a loupe but a beast to image properly - but it's there. My apologies for the less than satisfying images.)

 

Another cool find

 

Two junk bin pickups from this weekend (paid melt for them):​

1944 D Walking Liberty Half
"Hand Engraved Initials"
Note: this is the first one I've ever found (which is exciting enough) but it's one of those "aha" moments, because frankly the images I've seen online didn't make it very easy to see what it was supposed to look like in hand. Now...now I know.
And knowing is half the battle!







1964 D Kennedy Half
DDO

I was wondering the same thing!

 

My $25 half dollar purchase....

 

$25 for all of those?

 

Great type coin!

 

$29.50


Replacing:

 

I try to avoid duplicates but this was just too nice. There’s terrific luster and lovely purple and gold. Nicer than I can capture with the camera. I will have a challenge ahead of me learning how to photograph it. $40.

 

Yep! At a yard sale. I couldnt believe the price wasn't labeled at least $100 more. When I asked if the price was correct they looked me like I just shot their dog. So, I patted their dog and bought them.

 

At least it's raw, that helps to eliminate half the battle.

 

$36 Bucks

 

$22


Replacing:



More of a lateral move grade-wise, but I think she's the better-looking sister.

 

Agreed!

I moved the lighting angle so it was less reflective off the fields and reduced the exposure. The glare is reduced and the colors are richer.

I am surprised that this can still be found as a raw coin. The strike is sharp, the surfaces unmarked, and eye appeal amazing. If it were slabbed would the cost be gained back or would it still be a $40 coin?
