Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Now with what I've explained in my last few post.....have a look at the 7 PL and tell me why they got a PL on the slab? This is quite easy to determine...... and very obvious

What do all 3 reverse 1868 MS PL half dimes have in common?




All were struck using proof dies..... right ribbon doesn't touch the wreath. MS coins using proof dies!

 

You're alive!!!

 

One of the treasures I was finally able to get in the last week....

 

This is one of the others I've waited a long time to be able to afford

 

Love those war nickels! Nice group of acquisitions.

 

quarterly ebay bucks purchase and also I believe my first Lincoln cent!

 

This group arrived today. Back in 2014 I was taking care of family estate business and not actively collecting. So I missed the original issuance.

Sort of hard to gauge a fair price for these since they all seemed to be on eBay — at much higher prices than my winning $166 bid on Great Collections last weekend.

I wasn’t sure when I bought them, but I really like them. Did I pay too much? Not a clue. Anyway, enjoy. And tell me your thoughts, especially you modern collectors.

 

Very nice Allan. I sprang for four sets of these (from the mint) back in the day and I wound up sending three back. I was very surprised with the low quality and the set I kept was no where near '70.

 

That’s why I was reluctant to buy somebody’s set in the Mint packaging, though I could have saved a few bucks. Afraid I’d get something that should have been sent back.

 

Thanks! Copyright is 2014.

 

Found the perfect CircCam Type 2 companion for my 1917.

 

Found a couple 79 Susan's and what I believe to be a Miss Mint 2011 Nickel today at work. Bought them at face value and the 79's are both P stamped so that's cool I guess, lol.

 

I really like the pair you got. Especially the 1917! You have good taste for coins @Lunchbox John .

 

Thanks. I've been on the lookout for a type II in XF that really grabbed me for over a year... the fact that it was also in an ANACS yellow slab was kinda cool. Whether or not I can resist cracking them and putting them in my album remains to be seen.

 

The 4 coin set had an issue price of $99. I don't think you paid too much considering grading fees would eat up most of what's left between issue price and $166.

 

There are a couple of these 70 graded sets on eBay, one at $350 and one at $500 — both with the infamous “red oak presentation box.” Assume they were both purchased from HSN at their typically ridiculous prices.

As an aside, if one adds up the NGC price guide on the four individual coins, it totals $350. In your dreams, of course.
