    Nice set!! The “Stella” inclusion is really cool, imho.

    The Wayte Raymond board is new. My arm was “twisted” by another member, you can guess who. This holds my raw Philly Mints. F4E117B3-7E27-4CEA-B3BF-385A01D05867.jpeg As you can see, I have a long way to go, all my real good ones are in slabs.

    Not going to lie - I'm a big fan of this 1955 Proof Jefferson Nickel (just picked up today.) Apart from a tiny mark on Jefferson's collar, I don't see a single mark on the coin at all. I'm hopeful this coin will do well when I finally get around to sending my latest hoard of Jeffersons in under a bulk deal.

    Also picked up this 1955 Proof Franklin Half - and oh, man, if only the cameo on the Liberty Bell was as consistent as the obverse. I'd have a real winner. Still a gorgeous coin, though. Will also include it when I send in a bulk deal of Franklins and see where it goes.

    Seller called this one VF and had it for $39.96 BIN with free shipping.

    I pulled the trigger.

    I personally think it's solid XF. Wonder if it would straight-grade if submitted? I don't see why not. (I might or might not submit it to PCGS later.)

    The only potential concern I see is the small patch around Star #5. But the surfaces look OK otherwise- indeed, pretty nice, actually. There's dirt in the date, so maybe the stuff at S5 is more of the same- just a bit of old grime. Guess I'll find out.

    Numismedia says $51 in VF20 and $94 in XF40 (with a recent price increase in XF noted). I reckoned this one was worth a shot, whether I end up slabbing and keeping it, slabbing and selling it, or flipping it raw to someone for their 7070 set.

    Essentially I just got an XF for Fine-ish retail price... I think. What say you?

    PS- @Nathan401- this is what I spent your money on, so thanks. :)

    Was on vacation so I haven't posted in a while. These are all items I found in circulation.

    First is a pair of 40% silver half dollars

    IMG_20190820_084542308.jpg

    Then 5 quarters, 4 silver and one 2006 clad proof.

    IMG_20190820_084619491.jpg

    4 silver dimes

    IMG_20190820_085312.jpg

    3 war nickels

    IMG_20190820_085746.jpg

    A 1907 half dollar (used for a 50 cent toll)

    IMG_20190820_091424.jpg
    IMG_20190820_091449.jpg

    And yesterday in a pile of crap change I found this 1901 Indian penny.

    IMG_20190820_085700.jpg

    Also ( I know, for a different thread) 16 silver certificates. Not in the best shape, but still

    IMG_20190730_143521.jpg

    And a few nice old bills. Nothing special about the 1963 $10 except it is crisp and like new

    Nice coin. A few years ago a friend wanted me to sell a large collection she inherited from her mother. In it were three nice 1848 LC that I sent in to be slabbed. They ended up grading AU58, MS62, and MS63. I really wanted to buy one of them from her but decided to sell them at auction so there wouldn't be any conflict of interest issues.

    I really like it but it could come back details.
    It would be nice for 7070

    Another (relatively inexpensive) newp from @CircCam. Like the 1853 quarter I recently posted (which also came from him), it's got that nice "crusty" original look. I quite like upper-VF coins with eye appeal like this. They're affordable, and still handsome enough to include in my primary collection.

    This one is PCGS VF35. Considering the trend values spike upwards at XF40, a VF35 is a good value for the price.
