New Collection Additions from the Philly Show

Here's the two coins I brought home with me from the Philly Show.
The 1795 half cent is out for grading so no pics yet.
And I bought Lange's book on Lincoln Cents.

Indian Head - Type 3
Yes, the two sides are at least that different in color.
The obverse is RB, but the reverse is a full Red.
PCGS says the coin must be all Red to get that designation.
By going with this RB I saved myself about $200-300 over a full Red.


Half Dime - Capped Bust
I overpaid for this coin, but it's hard to find them with original surfaces in the XF/AU grade range.

Nice pickups Kanga! I love the luster on that indian head!

 

Kanga they both real gems!!!!

 

cute lil cappy nickel, I have not seen one that nice yet in person.

 

Nice NEWPS. Love the baby bustie.

 

I love that IHC. Both sides have beautiful color, nice way to shave a few bucks of the total price.

 

Great pickups kanga, love that IHC especially. Can't wait to see the half cent. :thumb:

 

Nice pickups!

 

I too would have paid more for that bust half dime because of the original surfaces. It's a beauty!

I try to find XF/AU Liberty Nickels with original surfaces and some original cartwheel luster. Very tough to find with original surfaces! I pass on many of them and will pay more for ones I find, if I have to.
