Hi all. Haven't been on here in awhile. Just a refresher on my old poot social security income coin collecting. I can't afford to buy high dollar coins but I do enjoy the 40%, 90% silver coins. New and old. Not crying, just saying. Added a pretty little 40% silver Eisenhower Dollar to the hoard today. Just thought I would see what you thought about it. $27.00 shipped. You won't hurt my feelings. LOL
We can't all afford high-$ coins. I do subscribe to the "buy the best you can afford" motto. Ain't a thing wrong with that one! (Well, aside from the fact that we got two reverse pics and no obverse.)
Couldn't get the obverse to paste for some reason. Another senior moment. Gonna try something else now and see if that helps.
I don't grade from pictures, but, I detect multi toning pastels, and on that basis, my opinion is this is an outstanding example. For $27 shipped, I would not have even considered the opinion of others. I would have purchased multiples or at least one more, considering stingy SS payouts these days.
Hey @GUNNER63736 , Here is a great place to shop on a SS budget. I buy from this guy too. (I have no association with the seller, just recommend his shop for interesting budget items.) https://www.colleconline.com/en/collection-items/10029/coins-for-sale Z
Just goes to show that even on a fixed income you can find a positive coin within your budget. You did very well, thanks for sharing. Good luck.
Great looking coin. I noticed something just left of the bell post and right of the ite in United. My eyes aren't that good but to me it looks like a shadow of earth. Maybe I have been looking at my 1972 ike to long. The price is also a plus. Regards.
Not my cup of tea. I collect coins from the 18th Century to date. I just couldn't get into coins from the Greek and Roman eras.
The Ike series is under appreciated and overlooked. Thats plays into a budget minded collectors' hand. Take advantage of it. Don't ever apologize for what you collect. Not only do I happen to like the series, I admire individuals who live within their means. I think that says a lot about a persons character and integrity.
This has woken to be the hottest market, I think, in coin collecting. It is insane https://www.ebay.com/itm/363511825870?hash=item54a2fe45ce:g:KlwAAOSwWSJg8Kec https://www.ebay.com/itm/403086184343?hash=item5dd9cf0f97:g:TVcAAOSw~wZg8KbW https://www.ebay.com/itm/133772291529?hash=item1f25732dc9:g:fd4AAOSwnjJgrnMm https://www.ebay.com/itm/403030536824?hash=item5dd67df278:g:7hIAAOSwvmphA9E8
