Just The Photos Please

I seem to have pulled a muscle in my back this morning. So the wife shoved a muscle relaxer down my throat and banned me to bed.... Oh darn.... On my way I grabbed two boxes of my favorite coins to enjoy while the muscle relaxer begins working it’s magic. I just placed the contents of box one on my bed and that’s the photo I am starting this thread off with...... Post coin photos. Favorites, ordinary, extraordinary, damaged, exquisite..... Anything that you want to post. This is the coin porn thread, quarantine edition.

Awesome coins Randy!

 

Now I wonder what’s in the second bag in this picture. Oh and you make me really want to buy some classic gold Randy. Such amazing coins!!

 

A simple coin that I enjoy. The photos are tilted at an angle to show the lovely blue/gold hue that has developed around the perimeter. Either that or this muscle relaxer is more potent than I realized....

 

Just the advantage of being old. I would give every one of them to you in exchange for your youth!..... Just stick with the hobby. Your day will come.

 

So much gold. You are rich.

 

Not hardly LOL. Just been accumulating since the 1970’s. I don’t seem to have the “sell” gene in my DNA.

 

Some toned beauties I love...

 

This one is for @GUNNER63736.... He enjoys the proof Kennedy halves and I totally get it. This was on a five dollar clearance table at a recent show so I figured, why not.

 

Not the best way to let that muscle relax Randy. You'll have a pain in your neck when you finish. LOL Hope it goes away quickly as I've suffered with those most of my life. Good luck my friend.

 

This one is @lordmarcovan fault. He started a thread on Feuchtwanger cents so I had to hunt one down...... And now that I feel the effects of this pill my wife gave me, slabs sliding around on the bed have become a less than perfect idea. Continue on please.

 

I wish that I could afford some gold. The closest I seem to be able to get to it is watching Parker Schnabel dig it up on Gold Rush. ~ Chris

 

Nice thread for the homebound folks. Here are photos of my favorite. I have 3 showing the specific issues with the coin and one of the full Obv. It is a 2011 ASE WDDO-001 from the John Wexler List. It is from the 5 piece Anniversary ASE set of 2011. I do have verification from John Wexler. When I get my new camera I will do a better presentation.

 

Here is some ancient candy.

 

We need a Bust Half in the thread.

 

And a dime.

 

A further sampling of those flat rounds things that people here seem to like so much.

Still my favorite coin picture I've ever taken:

 

Coin Porn! Corn Pone! Hee Haw! Junior Samples! Just an example of the mind following a thread. Here's one I got at FUN.

 

How about something modern? I think JFK in gold is gorgeous.
