Post your pickups from the Long Beach Show!! I won the only coin I was after from Heritage!! I glad to add the coin to my collection.:hail:
No I didn't get anything this time around, I was tracking one auction, and I was so surprised that this went this high. http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1140&Lot_No=8515&Lot_Id_No=146021#Photo
funny. i didnt get to go, to long of a drive but due to un seen circumstances ill be around that area tomorrow well more like downey and maybe down to fontana.
Got a few at the show including a 1909-S/S FS-1502 S/Horizontal S Lincoln Cent graded MS65RD from Angel Dee's (who had just picked it up from Heritage): Most of my damage was done in the auctions though... won a few at Goldbergs last weekend and a few at Heritage this week. Here's two of my best Heritage pickups, each of which will upgrade my 1909 Mint Set: 1909-S Barber Dime PCGS MS65 1909-S $5 Indian PCGS MS63 I really love that $5. Very flashy with tons of luster and some beautiful toning to it. Was in an old green holder, but it's at PCGS right now for SecurePlus grading. Finally, here is my favorite Goldberg pickup which I posted earlier in the week: NGC MS66
$138 I was winning it for $80 till it went live. Still looking for more......I really want the 25C on a 10C!!
I have an off metal, a 1978 P now in an NGC holder, struck on a 5 cent planchet, MS-65. Any idea of values?
Jaime, the premium on that coin is ridiculous, for toning that in hand, will not be as bright on those photos. The coin is nice, but not 1K+ nice. I just don't understand it, and it wasn't PCGS either so it wasn't the kool-aid drinkers. Guess somebody wanted that coin too much. Illini, for a second I thought you FINALLY upgraded that $2.5 but then I saw five dollars. It is still nice nonetheless lol The dime ain't too shabby either
Cool error Jaime. I'm liking that half eagle alot Illini. I picked this buffernick up for my short herd. I've been looking a couple of years for one. 1936-D MS67 late die state. Wow, they had some terrific buffs that garnered strong bids from the Brenda John Collection.
