That die pair was so worn it almost looks fake.

Most definitely! Just look at all the pitting on the eagle's wings and tail feathers. They also were trying to polish out die cracks.

 

The reverse felt exactly that way to me as well. But looking at it closer, I could tell it is the real deal, just had a very hard life. I'll let her retire into my collection, where I will take real good care of her.

 

Pics of the coins I got today at a show would be nice but I haven't so here's some generic ones from the web that represent a little of what I got:

6.00 for a Brown Ike (1972 S) Coin looks wonderful, and slight wear to box.



25 Cents for an 1840 Nova Scotia Penny. Very low qrade - the design and lettering very worn, some unable to be read, but when minted it would have looked like this:



Nine Iceland coins, 1925-1942, one was 25 cents, the other eight I got for 23.00 (individually they had been marked at a total of $26.

A PCGS 2005 P Western Waters SP68 Nickel for 7.00, same as this slab insert type, but not this cert number



Also got some freebie coins, mostly world semi-modern, but a couple that might be worth doing something with (low cost but still maybe a couple dollars each).

Lincoln cents 1959-1963 in cello (17 total) and a huge handful of world coins the local coin club was insisting I take. I also took a box full of old Coin mags and newsletters and one book that they had. They insisted I not limit myself, they had like four tables full of these and I am sure they did not want have to deal with them after the show. One of the gents even carried that box full out to my car for me. I still have to look to see what interests me in those mags. Some are from the 1990s.

And for some reason one of the guys at the table gave me a bunch of mini crayon sets. I guess they had them to hand out to kids but none were showing up. I'm going to probably find some place to donate them to.

Lots of coins to look at, and I did, but no ancients (bummer).

Bought a couple raffle tickets but since I got no call today I guess they pulled out someone else's numbers.

Also got someone at the show to look at the 1962 quarter I had on here at Cointalk recently to see what it might grade and this dealer thought it would be a MS63, and yep, no wear. Happy about that.

Total spent for my haul and the chance to win something: 38.50

Good day at a coin show: priceless, and a bonus was I got to see a oak tree shilling in person, cause one of the dealers had one for sale. A bit above my comfort zone (lolz) but cool to see - something like this.

I’d be a lot more despondent looking at your finds except that I end up with one once in a while. Happy hunting!

 

I don't SO I'M DESPONDENT! lol

 

Here's a few circulated type coins that I don't typically buy.

 

1830 h-10. if this is an LM-11 ( R-6 ) locating in any grade is a challenge @jtlee321 possible the other M reverse LM-13 which is an R -3
Sweet find even though she rough she's a keeper. Either way the amount paid is well worth the R factor .

@Nathan401 hey it's very early in the morning check my homework you're pretty good at this also.....

This one reminds me of the rare beat up one I purchased from you John @C-B-D

 

The 1887 s dime is an rpm 002 there are 2 known rpm for the date and mm .
The mm are usually filled due to a defect the s punch has a Horizonal defect in the lower loop.often mistaken for an S ove s.
The same punch was used on the 88,90,91 s dimes.

 

The 1830 gives me the most trouble for some reason. I think you’re on to something though. I’ll have to give it a closer look tonight.
