Post your under $50.00 purchase...

Eduard: Just stumbled across this thread some days after your post. I also think they’re both B-3’s, based on the Tompkins book (“Early United States Quarters 1796-1838”). Do you know it? It’s a gorgeous production, coffee-table quality, by a leading authority in the area. But then, I suspect you already do. By the way, I don’t find the cleaned one too awful! (I’ve always had a soft spot for strays and foundlings...). Can’t beat your purchase price, either.

These were all from the same dealer at a show.

This trio of Buffalos was $80. They were pulled from a set in Capital plastic. Based on the toning of the set, the holder caused the toning. These were the most vibrant. I apologize for the photos. It was bloody difficult to get both the color and the luster with my setup, so I went for the color instead.




I thought I had retaken pictures of this coin, but I guess not. It looks very much like the 1937 S above.

$15 for this 1917 Lincoln at the LCS.

I'm putting together another birth year set for my mother. It seems the previous one I made was accidentally set down on the newspapers, and went out with the trash. At least they're safely protected in their plastic case until some future archaeologist finds them again.

I didn't even take pictures of the last set, so I certainly will this time.

 

Nice cent.

 

Thanks, Larry.

Here, weighing in at only $4.50, is a 1917-S dime chosen for its coloring rather than its condition. It should look nice in the year set with the cent.

$50 on the nose...

 

I picked this up last night. $22.50 plus $3 shipping.

But I really don't know enough about luster and toning to know if it's a steal or not.

 

It is AU and artificially toned

 

This is an upgrade to the 1939-S Jefferson currently in my set. The old one has some dirty-looking annular toning. Under $10 with shipping. Both are Reverse of 1938 - so the steps are poorly detailed.

I refer those who are interested to @Lehigh96 's excellent article, Jefferson Nickels Reverse of 38 vs Reverse of 40.

 

So about right?

 

Well, I posted one a couple of weeks ago that was AU, AT, and $25, and I was pretty happy about that one! (Post #3541.) After all, we're getting into the ballpark where we're only paying a small premium over melt value.

 

Just got this one, $24

 

My photos look a little different:
