    Bought 3 coins, all 1919. I thought I would post a new thread to show them off. The first arrived yesterday:

    1919 S Walking Liberty Half: nice VG coin with a circulated sort of patina I like.

    Stay tuned for the other two to show up later this week.

    My pictures do not quite do it justice but here is the cent:

    Nice, I like coins like these - coins that worked for a living but still have style. I wish they could talk and tell their stories.

    And the final one: this one is out of my wheelhouse. I am generally collect original color coins and am not a fan of toners, but I wanted my cent collection to be well representative so I purchased this one:

    The reverse is a deep brown like the obverse with the bluish hue in the middle. Not sure why when I downloaded it the surface was bright orange. Must have been a slightly different angle as I was trying to get all the toning visible. My bad.
