Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Recent pickup with some great eye appeal. I was worried the below images were just glamour shots since the slab shot showed a darker looking coin but that's how it looks in hand and the luster is great. I give the obverse a 9.9/10 for eye appeal and the reverse a 9/10 because of the one dark spot at 1:00. Very happy with this it was a 6 month delayed upgrade for me after I sold my last seated dime. Took me that long to find one with the look I was after.

That's ine beautifully toned dime!

 

it's a 66 and has one of @Paddy54 's favorite stickers on it

 

Nice!

 

Nice!

 

Kinda reminds me of mine with the 66 and color. Ive had this under a year but its not a new purchase. I dunno if ive shown it here though.

 

I recently bought a 1986-2018 set of business strike American Silver Eagles. They came in a Dansco album but I decided on more protection and tried a CAPS album. I like it. See what you think of it.

It has spaces through 2033, so I guess I’ll have to stick around a while.

 

Are the caps included or do you have to provide that? How much more expensive is that kind of album?

 

I bought the album direct from the manufacturer. The album was about $30 and the capsules were $26. Dansco’s list price for its ASE album is $33, though it can be had cheaper on eBay.

 

So is that album made for capsules?

 

Oh, yes. The capsules fit tightly in the album.

I think the grade is spot on. Nice coin

 

Love both those seated dimes. Those are exactly the kind of coins I love

 

Picked this up today. It's an 1889-O Morgan Dollar VAM-13B with a very distressed obverse die.

 

Wow I didn't know that.

 

And what is 13-B exactly

 

The VAM-13B is a terminal state obverse die that was used to strike the coin. Here is a link to the VAMWorld page on it.
