A Couple from my collection

Basically, I have been working on a type set for a while, with digressions here and there. I'll post some of my type coins now and then, please feel free to comment as to your likes or dislikes, I'm not looking for anything but honest opinions. Plus, I think it's helpful to know what other people are doing with their collections.

Very nice! I like them all (well all except for the trade dollar).

Thanks for sharing...Mike

 

It's so nice to see a authentic SLD. :thumb: I've gotten so used to seeing counterfeits and I rarely see an authentic one.

When you get tired of them, send them my way. :hail:

Do you prefer this 1844?

 

The SLQ is a strong coin.

 

It has great luster. The little dark spot above the eagle's head isn't too noticeable in hand, but in the photo it looks like tar.

 

Kaz , this isn't the counterfeit threadJK. Now these are some nice type coins , I'm a Barber Half away from completing my 20th century set and then it's on to these beauties , Seated Liberties . Your three cent silver is beautiful , can't wait to see the rest .

The whole coin is so nice I didn't notice it till you mentioned it , the luster keeps pulling my eye away from it .

A Couple of Fantastic Coins! thanks for sharing.

 

Well, at least it wasn't one of those "potty" type dollars......


Nice Ks....

 

thanks for the comments, folks. Rusty, I'm going to have to buy some better "type" Barbers: my dime and quarter are both bright from dipping-- bought in my early days of collecting when I thought "bright is right." Now my thinking is more along the lines of "If the coin is 'lit', you must omit!"

here is a less beat up TD:




Note that this is a type I/II, which is scarce. the type II reverse dies arrived in Carson City late in the year and few were struck. 95% of this issue are type I/I.

 

Well my favorite out of the bunch is the SLD, then the two center. The three center and the second SLD has toning took dark for my tastes, but are still very nice coins. The first trade dollar is okay - reminds me of the potty dollar I saw this weekend at the local coin store. Nice batch of coins.

 

lol - ditto

 

I agree that the trime is rather dark. I like coins with dark toning in the periphery, if the central devices stand out in contrast, but even that one is a bit dark. It's tough to find a natural looking 3c. silver: most are overly bright from dipping, or dark as soot. I think this one is attractive,but not my ideal. I should have been more patient; it will have to do for now.

 

Well I love it , when you upgrade you can PM somebody whose name rhymes with dusty .:thumb:

P.S. The Trade dollars are nice too , the one I sent you to validate for me is one of my favorite coins hairlines and all .

 

Thanks, Rusty! Your TD is a cool coin, really! I think I will re-image the trime, I believe I underexposed it.


I don't have much copper. When I bought this FEC, the owner said "You're going to love this coin." He was right!

 

Flying Eagle Cents are hard to find this nice unless your name is Rockafeller , well you know who I mean , LOL . I shoulda just said Bill Gates , easier to spell .

Well, I messaged Angel Dee's about obtaining a full strike FEC and discovered to my dismay that my only hope was MS63-64 minimum. After taking my meds, and realizing that I was not, in fact, JDR, BG, or Warren Buffett, I discovered the wonders of AU58!! That's what this coin is, PCGS graded, and I couldn't be happier. AU58 rocks!

 

Nice coins.

A couple is two!

 

Is it me or does anyone else see this.
Look at the date on the standing liberty between the 9 and the 1(in 1917)
It looks as if there is a 6 between them..
Nice coin. I am jealous!
