My first coin show since the virus. Didn’t have any money to spend but of course- I can’t hold back. I got to speak with a gentleman (who I really think I’ve chatted with before). He said he knew some people who he thinks I could get in touch with for an ‘unpaid internship’. As much as I love the idea I plainly can’t invest too much of my time in a venture which will not get me much. However I have a lot to think about already so this is kind of on the periphery. I paid 130 for this. As I added to my PCGS inventory later I saw the current PCGS price guide listing - 275! Mine is CAC so I must assume I did pretty darn well. Maybe a nice resell could get me a few more dollars for spending this upcoming semester! But I’ll have to wait to see. Check out my UnTrue View (c) images I also got this type set frame for 5 dollars. Even though most of my coins are encapsulated- I can still fill this up pretty decently with my raw coins.

Are my images working? It doesn’t seem to be loading them. I’m using cellular so sorry for any issues
Your 1881-O looks really nice. PCGS values are notoriously inflated but the CDN CAC retail price guide says that coin is worth $188 so you did just fine.
That's quite a nice coin, @Evan Saltis, good to see that things are getting back to normal elsewhere. However, you may want to edit your initial post when you get a chance, as your image is only appearing as a thumbnail image as opposed to a full image.
Nice looking coin and you did good on the pricing. You need to keep for a few years to make decent money on this coin. Find a way to collect and hold. It’s hard at times but it can be done. Very nice purchase.
Like the frame! A few years back, I remember I had an appointment at a local Bank of America branch that had a full 19th & 20th century version of this frame up on the wall, with space for the gold coins as well. Not for sale, of course, but one can still dream!
On my wall this morning. No silver Kennedy halves. Apparently I’ve never had one although I thought I did.
Don't look at the retail prices, look at recent auction prices. You seem to have done quite well on the 81-O. The only PCGS 64 CAC recently went for $456 in June, although it does have a little bit of attractive toning on it. PCGS 64 no CAC sold in April for $288 and an NGC 64 in May for $162. I would say you did well buying it for $130.
Great to be back in the open sky, huh. You did very well, nice stuff, thanks for sharing your good fortune.
Had a girlfriend for a year or so...a few years before I got married in '81 (not to her)...she had a new '77 vette that I got to drive just about anywhere/anytime...loved it...my one and only experience with one, so felt like sort of a vetteran.
