1. 1901 S AU 58 Morgan. I finally purchased this date.
2. 1934 P MS 63 PQ Peace. When I resubmit it? I think it has a good chance at 64?

 

Here are my photo's I shot of my recent acquisition.

 

I almost passed on this one because of the divot on the rev rim. I am glad I didn't, up close it looks like it was struck like that.

 

I found this in my change today, it's from my birth year.

 

Are you going to do a catch and release?

 

Yes, some one may need it for their collection.

 

For 8 dollars, I could not pass it up.

 

An 1884-O Morgan whose frosted appearance appealed to me. Also has a bit of a die clash on the reverse that matches the indentation in Liberty’s cap.

 

here's a nice raw purchase I made. Grade MS62 at NGC.

 

Here we have an 1884 Indian Head cent to go along with the 1884-O Morgan from post #24630. Lots of deep red, purple, and blue on this one.

 

I took another obverse shot of this one because I wanted to match the in-hand look more closely. It is really dark. The original image, shot with direct light, makes the coin appear brighter than it actually is. This second shot took more post-processing, but the desired result was achieved.

 

Today's acquisitions.

 

I believe this has been double struck with about a 90 degree rotation (second strike counter clockwise from initial strike and dominant).

What I initially thought was a clash mark is actually a remnant of the first strike and matching remnants are seen on the reverse as well.
