    Recent acquisitions . . .

    A very scarce and underrated 1841 seated half dollar housed in an NGC VF Details holder . . . not a pretty coin, but decent.

    0.50-1841-1.jpg 0.50-1841-2.jpg

    A nice 1878 Quarter Eagle . . .

    2.50-1878-4.jpg 2.50-1878-5.jpg

    A rare cameo proof 1952 LWC .. . that's a patch of rose & blue toning at UNITED, not pitting or other damage.

    A pretty nice looking BU 1920 Saint . . .

    20.00-1920-1.jpg 20.00-1920-2.jpg

    A very scarce 1848 Seated Dollar . . . great originality.

    1900 obv. IHC.jpg 1900 date RPD IHC.jpg 1900 IHC Chin.jpg I also scored this IHC woodie 1900 RPD 1900 Rev IHC.jpg What's strange under the chin there appears to be what looks like to me a base of a 1 and the 1 is going up into the jaw line.

    Took my son (7) to his first coin show over the weekend. We had a blast, and he left with the pictured coins for his US type set.
    We enjoyed visiting with some very kind dealers who seemed happy that the little fella had caught the bug.
    Tooth fairy and birthday money funded the purchases

    The last 2 weeks were good for me in collecting in retail, both coin and paper.

    I found 2 proofs (not silver), a 2008 quarter and 2016 nickel, and 2 40% quarters 1999 and 2003

    IMG_20180312_133048716.jpg

    Six silver dimes, 2 1964, 1 each 1946, 1948, 1953 and 1963

    IMG_20180312_133102810.jpg

    2 1943 war nickels

    IMG_20180312_133127547.jpg

    For paper I found 4 silver certificates, 2 1957 and 2 1935

    IMG_20180312_133349421.jpg

    1950 10 and 20 dollar bills, and a 1928 20 dollar bill

    IMG_20180312_133425776.jpg

    and finally 3 1963 $2 bills. The first one I got a week ago with a few creases, the other 2 I just got Saturday, both look perfect. All 3 are serials all from the same pack so I'm guessing the guy has a pack of 100 and is pulling them out to spend them.

    Hope to see more of these!

    Oh, almost forgot, 120 wheat pennies.

    My 9yr old son and I hit a monthly show in our area yesterday. It's been working well for him as he gets decent freebies every time we attend the show.

    I don't think those are 40%. If they are silver, then it's 90%

    I have a bunch of these, they are all 5.75 grams which is supposed to be 40%. They look silver but don't have the S mint

    Never mind, they aren't silver at all. Yours are clad.

    Just bought this off EBay for just under 60 bucks
    My plan is to crack it out for my Morgan book unless someone has a 80-S raw they don't need.

    A new day for those who used to think that two-headed and two-tailed coins are impossible... PCGS has certified a two-tailed 1965-ish dime, three two-tailed Washington Quarters, and a two-headed nickel... and I believe there is a two-headed indian penny out there as well.

    Recently acquired these two, featured in the Spring 2018 Mint Error News, "Unique Chilean Numismatic Rarities"

    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]


    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    "Here is a unique group of numismatic rarities from Chile. They are Chilean 10 Pesos that were struck with two obverse dies and two reverse dies. This is a spectacular collection of Chilean unique numismatic rarities."
