Coins that went goodbye (2024 version)

It looks like I have not done one of these in a few years (used to have a streak going) so it is time to do it again! Here are some cool coins that found new homes in 2024.

PCGS MS 62 (ex-NGC MS 62)....nice color on a popular Silver Commem...I have a nicer example (in my opinion) in my main collection so felt like it was time to clear out a so called "duplicate" (now it wasn't easy but I can't keep them all).



1989 Eagles...these were two vivid proof toners and I debated which one to keep for a while; it turned out that I sold both when I acquired a cool 1987 proof. Plus I felt that the toned Eagle "hoard" (well not a hoard as it was only a handful but still more than I "needed") was getting a bit too big.




1958-D MS 66 CAC Quarter ....a common date with not so common color. This quarter had a great combo of toning and luster. It was another that I reluctantly let go of but the price was right (at this year's ANA show) and I have another example for the type already in my main set.




A lovely Morgan with the typical San Francisco mint luster (and it was semi prooflike); this was a fairly expensive purchase (for me) from Legend. I wasn't actively trying to sell it but when a guy who really appreciated it asked, I let it go.




(NGC PF 69 UCAM)...an interesting modern from Kyrgyzstan, this coin also was a COTY category winner (as seen in the snippet below-photo of slab in next post as I have reached my limit of 10 per post). I have a different coin from Kyrgyzstan in my ex-Soviet nations set so this was the one I decided to move along.

Some nice coins you let go. I’m sure they found new homes where they’ll be appreciated

 

I have sold about 300 really nice coins this year. I will miss them all. I was happy owning them for the past 30 to 40 years. About 1000 more to go. I plan to put all of the funds into Bust half dollars.

 

Excuse me both of you while I mop up my drool. Those are some amazing coins

 

Oh, yes, Denis has an eye for toners. You should follow him on IG just to see the "not quite good enough for my set" coins he finds and resells.

 

All I want for Xmas is the 1955DDO!

 

One can argue which is nicer but I prefer the one in my "box of 20" that is pictured below:

 

That was a cool one and I'm glad it is in your collection.

 

you forgot these 2

 

@mrweaseluv thank you for the reminder! That is another fun pair that moved to a good new home.

 

It's okay with me. The more the merrier.
