Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Wasn't much at my favorite local coin shop today so picked up these lower grade capped halves.

For low grade coins those are very nice. I especially like the 1826. If you don't mind how much did you have to pay for them?

 

$100 for the pair, the 1826 has been cleaned though.

 

That seems like a great price to me. I have seen a 1826, not quite as nice, go for $120 online. But I admit I don't know much about capped bust half prices since I don't own any, yet.

 

That's one of the reasons I do 98% of my shopping with local stores. I usually get better prices with them over online, plus can see the coins in hand. Like with the 1826 in that photo it's hard to see it has been cleaned.

 

Latest arrival. One more to go for a 1940 proof set.

 

My recent pickups . . .

 

Way nice coins, especially the gold.

 

Picked up this 1.5 oz. For less than I paid for the 1oz., only was not numerically graded, still a good deal. ( sellers pics. )

 

Nice. I have the 2005 1oz gold but not a silver yet

 

I've never seen these for less than $100.00

 

Seller wanted $70.00, but let me have it for $58.00. I see a 1 oz. for. $60.00, on the bay now. ( I already have one. ) I like this one, and the winged liberty is even better, IMO.( ST. Gaudens. )

 

I'd love to get both gold and silver versions, but as hard as it is I'm keeping my focus on one series right now

 

This new arrival completes a 1940 proof set.

 

Congratulations on completing your set. Are they all ms-66-cac ?

 

Sometimes it's hard to stay focused on your collection needs, when something pops up that you can't resist buying, even if not on your radar. Stay strong, don't listen to the siren call.

 

No. They range from 64 through 66.

 

My first gold love token. I'm fairly certain it is a $2.50. The diameter is exactly 18mm.

 

Nice, this guy had some skill, and apparently, money.
